The year 1294 is believed to be the year that witnessed massive earthquakes that eventually shook the ground and the fields of, now known Haukadalur, led to the creation of new geysers, but it did ruin some of the existing geysers as well. Geysir was initially found its name in the literature from the 18th century that was elaborated as one of the unusual natural phenomena and caught great attention then. It was due to earthquakes that woke Geysir up, nearly after 40years of hibernation period; this restarted the Geysir’s eruption activity. In 1845, Geysir was recorded to erupt up to 5577ft (170m) into the air. But a decline in the height was seen a year later, the water would shoot up to a height of only 141-177 ft (43-54m). It was until the earthquake of 1896 that made Geysir active erupting multiple times in a day nearly 1968 ft (60meters) in height. With time, the Geysir changed the eruption pattern, and in 1910, it erupted every 30minute. The eruptions increased to eight times a day in 2000 but came down to 3 times a day in 2003. As of today, Geysir’s activity is comparatively low, but don’t get disheartened, who knows, maybe you will get to witness nature’s unusual phenomenon when you visit.
