How Does A Geyser Work?

[DemonXeron]

I was thinking to start "these subtitles are completely unnecessary, oh well, they might help a bit." Then the wind picked up. Thanks Tom!

I love how he gives up on the British pronunciation and goes for the American pronunciation because it sounds like he's talking about some old guy.

He comes my poor American based education. I thought that the only reliablly repeatable geyser was in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, USA. And it was called Old Faithful. It goes off every 90 minutes or so. Thank you for educating me on something I did not know but should have.

haha how many takes did it take to get that timing?

[tanyacockle]

I love the range of geysers, from those that blow so rarely it's a sight to see, that it MEANS something to actually be there. To ones that explode every 5 minutes and satisfy people like me who wanna just show up and see something cool

Geysir is actually only the name for that particular geyser. The Icelandic word for geyser is "goshver" (plural "goshverir"). Broken down :)

Hey Tom I just saw this for myself today and it's still cool!

[AitchGames]

Been to here in person many years ago, just managed to catch the "Once a day geyser", its pretty huge when it goes off!

Bet you wish you'd had Matt and his windproof microphone for this one haha

[seancoyne]

Was here here a few months ago, beautiful country!

[Brissles]

Been there. Love Iceland. Solid vid. Keep it up.

[kaimonington]

Well done on the timing of that thing exploding!

[flamingrice]

I wondered how they worked so I pop it up and was happy to see it was this guy explaining it

[prepperjonpnw]

In the States they have one called "Old Faithful" in Yellowstone national park that is huge.

[homefreylf]

I am so jealous that you're in Iceland right now!

Bit from description: "There aren't that many places in the world *_wher eyou_* can find geysers".

Otherwise, awesome!

[frmr]

sounds like you're talking about that place near Cairo with all those great big mausoleums

Why did I get a new video notification when this video is 2 years old??

[EvelynneRude]

If you said "gee-suh" "guy-suh" "gay-suh" it sounds as if you're talking about an old man who likes to watch geysers go off.

So it's the physical weight of the colder water that's pushing down on the hot-rock-surrounded water? Cool!
