Iceland has more hot springs and geysers than any other country in the world, due to its location on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and abundant geothermal activity. The country is known for its natural geothermal pools and the famous geyser, Strokkur.
There are no natural geysers in the Philippines. Geysers are typically found in areas with high geothermal activity, such as Iceland and Yellowstone National Park. The Philippines does have some volcanic activity and hot springs, but not geysers.
Iceland is the Nordic country that is an island. It is located in the North Atlantic Ocean and is known for its stunning natural landscapes, including geysers, hot springs, and volcanoes.
No, geysers require the presence of large subterranean magma chambers to power them, they are NOT confined to continents. For instance the islands of Iceland and Newzealand both have extensive geyser fields, similar to those found in North America (Yellowstone). However this said all continents will have locations where there are hot springs or mud flows, but not necessarily geysers.
Iceland lies along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and is partially covered by the Vatnajokull ice sheet. The country's unique geology gives rise to geothermal activity and stunning landscapes of glaciers, geysers, and volcanoes.
Iceland is known for its many geysers.

The world has about 1000 geysers. Roughly half of those, 500 geysers lay located in Yellowstone national park.

Geysers are lacated in geyser fields. Most geyser fields are located in Iceland, Russia, and the United States.
Rotorua is the most popular place.

Well, there are not so many. In 2004 there were apparently 58 geysers in NZ. They are uncommon objects anywhere in the world - perhaps only 1000 worldwide. Geysers are associated with volcanic activity, and the Taupo Volcanic Zone (which includes Rotorua) is the most important in NZ. Hot pools, geysers, fumaroles etc are produced by underlying volcanic activity. Some of the geysers and hot spring activity has been lost by the drowning due to hydro-electric projects, and some has been lost by over-exploitation by domestic withdrawal for house heating. The hot springs in the South Island, (none of which are associated with geysers) are all associated with faults in the ground, and are thought to be the result of the land rising through tectonic process, faster than it is cooling. All of these are East of the Alpine Fault. Have a look at teara.govt.nz for an expansive article.
