Geysir – the main tourist attraction?

There are a few hotsprings in Iceland named Geysir. One is world famous and its name became used in general for spouting hot springs. The hot spring area of Geysir in Haukadalur of SW Iceland shows resemblance of Geysir at Hveravellir in the NE.

Here is a picture of the hot spring Strokkur in the area of Haukadalur.
