Next, we'll explore the geothermal area near Haukadalur Valley, a landscape dotted with hot springs. Here, you'll witness the awe-inspiring geysers, including the legendary Geysir, which gave its name to these natural wonders, and the frequently erupting Strokkur, which shoots water up to 30 meters high.
