Which country is home to the majority of the world's geysers, including the famous Geysir hot spring?

Correct

Answer given

Iceland

Answer

Iceland contains approximately 30% of the world's geysers, concentrated in the Haukadalur valley. The Great Geysir (from which the English word 'geyser' derives) is located there, along with Strokkur, one of the most active and predictable geysers globally. New Zealand has significant geothermal activity in Rotorua but fewer geysers overall.
