Geysir (sometimes known as The Great Geysir), in the Haukaalur valley, Iceland, is the oldest known geyser and one of the world's most impressive examples of the phenomenon. The English word geyser to describe a spouting hot spring derives from Geysir (which itself is derived from the Icelandic verb gjósa meaning to erupt. The English verb gush is probably related to that word). Geysir lies on the slopes of Laugarfjall hill at 64°19′0.05″N, 20°17′59.64″W, which is also the home to Strokkur geyser about 400 metres south.
