Mein Dank geht an das unbekannte Nebelpärchen, das dieses Bild zu einem besonderen gemacht hat.

Etwa sechs Stunden lang war der Blick aus dem Busfenster so zauberhaft eintönig und trostlos. Mal mehr, selten weniger neblig. Hin und wieder ein paar Bäume, Häuser, Hügel oder Gewässer. Gegen Abend immer dunkler werdend.

Geysir Geothermal Area, Iceland
Geysir is a famous geothermal area located in the Haukadalur valley in Southwest Iceland, known for its stunning geothermal features, particularly the Strokkur geyser.
The Geysir area has been a popular tourist destination for centuries, attracting visitors with its dramatic eruptions of hot water and steam. Strokkur, the most active geyser in the region, erupts every 5-10 minutes, shooting boiling water up to 20-30 meters into the air.
Though Geysir itself is very rarely active these days, Haukadalur Valley boasts a plethora of hot springs and geysers, including the powerful Strokkur, Smidur, and Litli-Strokkur. Strokkur is arguably the country’s most famous hot spring.
The geothermal area takes its name from the Geysir Hot Spring, which was once one of the most impressive geysers in the world. Although Geysir now erupts infrequently, it gave rise to the word “geyser” and continues to lend its name to the entire region.
Geysir is much larger, but years can go by between eruptions here. It is currently in an inactive phase. When it does erupt, the water can shoot up in the air as high as 70 meters.
Just a few minutes walk north of Geysir is a wealth of fumaroles, emanating steam and gas into the cool Icelandic air. Aside from watching the pillars of steam, you will also be able to observe the yellow sulfuric stains along the fumaroles themselves, a result of the earth’s minerals crystallizing around the rock bed.
The geothermal activity in the area is a result of Iceland's unique geology, situated on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. This geological setting provides a rich supply of geothermal energy, leading to numerous hot springs, mud pots, and fumaroles in the vicinity.

Der Faxi, auch Fafafoss genannt, ist ein rund 80 Meter breiter Wasserfall am Fluss Tungufljót. Direkt daneben befindet sich eine Fischtreppe, die es Lachsen und Forellen ermöglicht, das Hindernis zu überwinden und ihre Laichplätze flussaufwärts zu erreichen.

The second stop on the Golden Circle tour we took in 2015 was at Gullfoss waterfall which has sudden, wide drops of dozens of metres in a canyon. A viewing area along the top offers the more typical shots most tourists take of these thunderous falls and we did take those too, but we also had the chance to clamber down to ground level and were glad to take it because the wind was ferocious on the more exposed plateau above.

Our weekend break in Iceland in 2015, our first visit to the country, included tickets for the popular Golden Circle tour. This started with a visit to a geothermal spot on the otherworldly Icelandic landscape where Strokkur was located. Strokkur is a fountain-type geyser that erupts around every eight minutes, shooting heated water up around twenty metres. We watched it erupt several times but the land around was equally fascinating. Bubbling puddles and the overwhelming smell of sulfur in a red-tinted landscape that could be Earth in some primordial age.
