The Geysir in full eruption

Geysir is one of the main attractions on Iceland´s most popular sightseeing tour; the Golden Circle. All of the world's spouting hot springs are named after the Geysir in Iceland – so in all languages other than Icelandic, the word “geysir” or “geyser” is the name of the phenomenon while in Icelandic it´s just the name of that single geyser. Even though the word refers to all geysers in general, there is only one real Geysir and thats the one in south west Iceland.
