Geysir, sometimes known as The Great Geysir, is a geyser in south-western Iceland, that geological studies suggest started forming about 1150 CE. The English word geyser derives from Geysir.
The mineral-rich water has its own smell - earthy, sulfurous. You get used to it. Then you start to love it.
The sulfur smell is normal. Your clothes will smell like it afterwards. Pack accordingly.
