About Haukadalur Valley
Haukadalur valley is the geothermal heartland of the Golden Circle, home to the famous Geysir and Strokkur geysers along with dozens of other hot springs, mud pools and fumaroles spread across the hillside. The valley has been geothermally active for at least a thousand years — Arab traveller Al-Idrisi mentioned erupting springs in Iceland in 1154. A network of paths crosses the valley between different thermal features, and information boards explain the geology in detail. The area is always free to walk around.
