What is a Geyser?
September 18th, 2007 Posted in Geyser (Geysir) Definition
A geyser is a hot spring that erupts periodically like a volcano of hot steam and water. The name geyser originates from
Icelandic and means “to gush.” Geysers are named after the “Geysir” at Haukadalur, Iceland. There are two kinds of geysers: cone geysers and fountain geysers. Cone geysers erupt from mounds of geyserite while fountain geysers are those that erupt from pools of water.
