After Sauðárkrókur, we headed back toward the geothermal area just inland from Reykjavic. Of particular interest was Geysir, the source of the word geyser, and the associated geyser Stokkur. Geysir is basically dormant at this time as the channels supporting it became blocked during an earthquake. It does erupt but usually only during earthquakes at this time. Stokkur is a few metres and away erupts quite reliably at least once every ten minutes or so. Unfortunately, I couldn’t catch any good photos of this but here is one that I got.
As you can see, it moves a fair amount of water.
From Geysir, we drove inland and explored some of the nearby parks and hiking areas. However, the weather really wasn’t cooperating so we left after a couple of days to spend our final two days with the van exploring the peninsula north of Reykjavic. Here are a couple of photos from that region.

We then returned to Reykjavic and returned the camper to the agency.
