Iceland Update; Sudden Increased Activity at Nation's Largest Geyser Field

During the last 4 days, there has been a sudden spike in activity at Iceland's largest geyser field. At the field known as Geysir, geyser eruptions are occurring more often and are taller when they occur, and numerous hot springs are now bubbling more violently than they were beforehand. So, what exactly is causing all of this? This video will discuss the current situation via the analysis of a geologist.
