A mate and I visited Iceland for a week. My first time anywhere with glaciers! Great fun, a lot of waterfalls and the odd bit of hypothermia!

Geysir

Geysir is interesting, seemingly in the middle of nowhere (as most of Iceland is), the bubbling mud pools, sulfur stained rocks and the geysers themselves are astonishing, if a little packed with people! Standing shoulder to shoulder with about fifty strangers, all looking at your watch timing the three minutes it should take for the eruption to happen is slightly odd; the mass fumbling for cameras is farcical.

I liked Geysir, it was very interesting, and, thankfully, had indoor plumbing for the toilets. Something I'd miss a lot later on.
