The right answer is geyser.

A geyser is a hot spring located in volcanic fields, from where water and water vapor gush intermittently at high pressure.

The word "geyser" has an Icelandic origin, since it comes from the verb geysa which means "to gush". It has also given its name to the largest Icelandic geyser (which projects water up to 80 meters high).
