Waiting for The Great Geysir to erupt

by Atefe Choopani

Geysir sometimes known as The Great Geysir, is a geyser in southwestern Iceland. It was the first geyser described in a printed source and the first known to modern Europeans.
Eruptions at Geysir can hurl boiling water up to 70 meters (230 feet) in the air. However, eruptions may be infrequent and have in the past stopped altogether for many years at a time.
