Our next stop was the geothermal fields in West Iceland which are home to a bunch of geyers and steaming underground rivers. During our autumn visit the area was a sea of brown, it was very beautiful, barren and desolate, with mountains and bubbling ponds.
The most famous geyer of this area is the Strokkur geyser. It is the most famous one because it erupts pretty regularly, maybe every five minutes or so, and it can reach heights of up to 20-30 metres high. This means everyone can grab a photo and watch this natural phenomenon no matter time they arrive in the field.
We had quite a lot of fun trying to snap a picture just as the geyer was about to erupt. We thought we had figured it out by a small clicking sound (like the fire swamp) but my photo finger wasn't as quick as my ears and these were the best shots I could get;
After spending quite a while trying to get these photos we decided it was time to stretch our legs. This turned out to be a great decision as we were able to head up a hill and take in a more spectacular panoramic view of the field and geyer.
