Strokkur and Geysir Geysers
are the two most well known geysers in Iceland. Strokkur erupts
very reliably every 5-10 minutes, hurling boiling water to heights
of up to 20 meters (70ft) towards the sky. After a few seconds,
the fountain subsides and the waters around it calms down. During
these times, Strokkur appears as a sheet of clear water surrounded
by steam. |
