[Geysers] Re: Ystihver

[Alan Glennon]

Just to clarify, the geyser in the video, Ystihver, is located at
approximately: 17.31294W, 65.88557N WGS84. My maps show a farm named
Hveravellir as the nearest to Ystihver Geyser. This is different, of
course, than the Hveravellir (geyser field) of the central highlands.
Apparently, Hveravellir is descriptive of a hot spring plain.
Similarly, more than one Reykjadalur ("steamy/smoky valley") exist.

    Nice video... except unless there are two geysers named Ystihver,
this geyser is at Reykjadalur, not Hveravellir -- very different
places.
