It is named Geysir and has been active since the 13th century. The name Geysir is a name, for example Strokkur is the name of another geyser in the area. The term geyser in Icelandic is goshver but "Geysir/geyser" caught on and is now used to descibe these formations in English and possibly other languages. The area is very beutiful, as is all of Iceland's nature. I will probably write something shortly about that seeing that I have to leave the topic of food alone for now.<br /><br />To Michele: I hope you like the book, it has some info regarding Iceland that will hopefully not diminish your interest in visiting. Regarding the awful food, I wouldn't touch it with a stick although it would probably stretch the skin out and relieve any need for Botex/Botox.<br /><br />To Cara: we have lots of fish so if you come you will have no problems! My daughter is a vegeterian (with the exception of lasagna) so I know it can be done although I would not have recommended coming here twenty years ago when meat & fish were a fixture in every meal.<br /><br />To Leighton: Brennivín is a cumin based hard liquor - sort of like vodka but worse. You are right about the grapes - there can never have been any here despite the marketing spin which seems to have been accepted in the Viking community as you pointed out with Vineland and also with respect to the name they chose for Greenland. Brennivín is made from, surprise, surprise: fermented potatoes. This is sipped more for the fun of it than the actual taste and thankfully it is now served as a chilled shot intead of a long drink in coke as it used to be.

Thanks for the insight into your interesting country. I still want to visit, even after this post! Also, I ordered your book, 'Last Rituals,' today and am anxiously awaiting it's arrival! <br /><br />Michele<br /><a href="http://southerncitymysteries.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">SouthernCityMysteries</a>JournoMichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11170364981958685438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-78631748379352964772010-01-20T19:12:43.949-05:002010-01-20T19:12:43.949-05:00Yrsa

I don't think I even want to know what they were, the ones I couldn't recognize I mean.<br /><br />I have an Iceland question. We've just recently gotten a new television that is High Definition. They have a wonderful channel called HD Theater - it's one of the Discovery channels. Each weekday moring at 7a.m. and again at 10 a.m. they show a program called Sunrise Earth. It is absolutely wonderful. Yesterday the sunrise was in the Haukadalur Valley in your beautiful country. The rock formations were fascinating, the geyser water so very blue. I'd love to hear more about this place from you. And...if anyone can get that channel on their tv try turning in to Sunrise Earth. There is no artificial sound added - just water, birds and whatever sounds are normal in the location they are featuring, like fishing boats readying to head out to a day's work. It's heavenly and so relaxing. <br /><br />JacquieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
