The area became active more than 1000 years ago, and comprises more than dozen hot water blow holes. Although Geysir is less active these days, it did lend its name to hot springs all over the world.
​Gullfoss, waterfall located in the canyon of the Hvítá river in southwest Iceland. During the first half of the 20th century was much speculation about using Gullfoss to generate electricity. It even went so far as being rented out to foreign investors. However, the investors attempts were unsuccessful. The waterfall was later sold to the state of Iceland, and is now protected. Gullfoss translate to “the golden waterfall”
