Strokkur Geysir

Strokkur Geysir, from which all geysers are called, is the most famous fountain geyser in the nation and is only a simple 50-minute drive from Reykjavik. This extremely active hot spring region is a popular stop on the so-called "Golden Circle," which runs along the Hvtá River in the southwest of Iceland. Here, you may explore boiling mud pits and almost 100 additional smaller erupting geysers. Strokkur fires water 30 meters into the air every few minutes. All year long, the Geysir Center offers exhibitions and educational lectures. Digging up Geysir or "hot spring" bread, rye bread that has baked underground for 24 hours, is a fascinating event.

With addition, guests can assist a chef in boiling eggs in a hot spring to go with the bread. Strokkur is one of the island's most active geysers, thus it should not be surprising that it is one of Iceland's most well-known geysers. As the water begins to bubble and boil just before it spews forth its blazing hot water every 8 to 10 minutes, visitors to this geyser are filled with anticipation. The Great Geysir and Strokkur are close together, so many people visit both of these must-see Iceland geysers on the same day.
