Geysir Geothermal Area is one of the three major attractions in the Golden Circle. The main site to see is Strokkur. This is Icelands most active geyser shooting water up every five to ten minutes. There is also Geysir, much larger but it is in inactivity most of the time. Overall, there are more scenic geothermal areas in Iceland but the Stokkur is worth seeing.
