GEYSIR
What is the sudden smell all around you? You just arrived, opened the door and the first thing what punched you to the nose is a very noticeable smell. This smell is specific for this area and is caused by sulphur. Geysir is one of many Icelandic wonders and is part of the Golden Circle. Several geysers can be found in this area but some of them are not active and some are erupting irregularly. The active Geysir called Strokkur is not the biggest one but its activity is very noticeable. It erupts every 6-10 minutes to the high of 15-20 metres.
If you are trying to make a nice photo it's better to be ready as eruption lasts a few seconds. If you miss it you have to wait for the next one. In the area are several paths with a lovely walk and spectacular views on the mountains around you and the steam coming from the ground all around you. If you get hungry you can refresh yourself in the near bistro.
