Jessie on a Journey
A dramatic plume of steam and smoke billows upwards from a geyser eruption, towering high into the cloudy sky. The geyser, named Strokkur, is located in Iceland's Geysir Hot Spring Area, known for its geothermal activity. The image captures the impressive force and scale of the eruption, with the white steam contrasting against the gray and brown tones of the surrounding snow-capped mountains and rocky terrain. The scene evokes a sense of the raw power and natural beauty of Iceland's volcanic landscapes.

Geysers of Iceland's Geothermal Landscape

One reason many people visit Iceland: to see the geysers. Known as the Land of Fire & Ice, the landscape is full of geysers glaciers, volcanoes and geothermal activity -- so much that Iceland is able to run on 100% renewable energy (geothermal and hydropower). . . Iceland's most famous geyser is aptly named Geysir; however, it's been pretty much dormant since 1916. Luckily, the nearby Strokkur (pictured above) is a sight to behold, spouting every few minutes. It's located within the otherworldly Geysir Hot Spring Area, where walking paths allow you to take in views of the bubbling, steaming ground. Make sure to also check out some of the lesser-explored trails, offering beautiful views away from the crowds! . . Interested to visiting Iceland?
