Geyser usually gush about a minute, but in such a short period of time he throws out of the ground from 20 to 30 liters of hot mineral water. The steam from a geyser up to many hundreds of meters. If the sky the sun is shining, the air appear bright rainbow. This is an amazing and beautiful sight. Iceland is often called the country of geysers.
