Just as the Great Geyser , Strokkur had in its history the same transition during the earthquake. He froze and then it came time activity. After cleaning the channel made in the 60s of the twentieth century breaks regularly and is currently the only active geyser in Iceland.
The name refers to Geysir make the whole area of ​​geothermal hot springs, which is also one of the three seats belonging do the Golden Circle (Golden Circle).
This is really an artificially created tourist destination located in the valley Hakadalur hillsides Laugarfjall and its name inherits from the most famous geyser in Iceland.
Geysir also called the Great Geyser, was first discovered and described in the literature. It has just come from him, the term "geyser" or hot spring, which by volcanic activity, ie. The movements of magma chambers beneath the surface and pressure differences, at intervals, thrown through the resulting channel under the tremendous force of water, often at considerable height. Icelandic "gjosa" means explode, squirt.
The oldest geothermal sources in the area have more than 10,000 years, he Geysir was discovered in 1294. Historically, throwing water to a height of 80 meters, but unfortunately it is not currently active, but nothing is lost - as the history of the region geyser is in the phase of sleep. All through earthquakes. After one to activate a and the other to a halt.
Over the last century, its activity is quite weakened, geyser erupted sporadically but still at the height of often more than 80 meters. Finally, after the earthquake in 2000, he fell asleep. His channel is still filled with thermal water, which often exceeds 100 degrees Celsius and it is quite likely that soon resume its activity.
The place is still visited by many tour groups and that the matter located about 50 meters away Strokkur geyser, which erupts regularly every 5-7 minutes. Dump the water column with a diameter of 3 meters at a height of about 30 meters, there are also smaller jets.
In the vicinity there are also smaller pseudo geysers such as Smiður and Litli-Strokkur, is better suited to them to determine geothermal sources.
