Haukadalur geothermal area

The geothermal field is believed to have a surface area of approximately 3 km². Most of the springs are aligned along a 100m wide strip of land running in the same direction as the tectonic lines in the area, from south to southwest. The strip is 500m long and culminates near what once was the seat of the lords of Haukadalur.

The area became active more than 1000 years ago and comprises more than a dozen hot water blow holes. Although the geyser is less active these days, it did lend its name to hot springs all over the world. It was the first geyser described in a printed source and the first known to modern Europeans and along with the geyser in Yellowstone National Park in the United States, Geyser is the most famous geyser in the world.

It is a composition based on three shots, which tries to catch three different stages of the eruption. I think it will be easy for people to differentiate the three stages. The first one, just when the water started to jump up was the brightest, the second one is a little less bright and the third one is clearly darker.
