Iceland Travel Journal 冰島旅行日記 12 - 2019.10.16 Geysir 間歇泉

Day 3's Notes - Continued 繼續第三天的雜記

Geysir, sometimes known as The Great Geysir, is the famed hot spring located within the geothermal area of the Haukadalur Valley in southwestern Iceland. It may have begun forming around 1150 CE. It stands as one of the essential attractions along the country's popular Golden Circle sightseeing route.

While the area is known as Geysir, Strokkur is the most active and famous hot spring on site. It dramatically shoots vast jets of boiling water, reaching heights of 20 meters (65 feet) to as much as 40 meters (130 feet).

Fortunately, visitors need not worry about missing this incredible spectacle of nature, as Strokkur erupts with remarkable frequency—approximately every five to ten minutes. This regular activity ensures many opportunities to capture that fleeting, powerful moment on camera.

蓋錫爾間歇泉，有時也被稱為大間歇泉，是位於冰島西南部豪卡達魯爾山谷 (Haukadalur) 地熱區的著名溫泉。它可能始於公元 1150 年左右。它是冰島熱門旅遊路線「黃金圈」上的重要景點之一。

雖然該地區被稱為蓋錫爾間歇泉，但史托克間歇泉 (Strokkur) 是這裡最活躍、最著名的溫泉。它噴發出巨大的沸水柱，高度可達 20 公尺（65 英尺）至 40 公尺（130 英尺）高。

幸運的是，遊客不必擔心錯過這一令人嘆為觀止的自然奇觀，因為史托克間歇泉噴發的頻率非常高——大約每五到十分鐘就會噴發一次。這種規律性的噴發活動為遊客提供了許多機會，讓他們能夠用相機捕捉到那轉瞬即逝卻又震撼人心的瞬間。
