The original Geysir has become less active since an earthquake in 2000.
Luckily it's neighbour Strokkur now erupts roughly every 7 minutes.
The water is 82°c and shoots 60m high. It cools down whilst in the air before it rains back down!

Þingvellir Park lies in a rift valley where two tectonic plates meet.
Iceland is growing by about 5 cm per year so has regular earthquakes and volcanic activity.
On the 1st July 2015, whilst I was in Iceland, there were 200 earthquakes!
