Notes: |
Geysir, Iceland - Strokkur, or 'The Churn," is a geyser that is situated in the geothermic region beside the Hvitá River in Iceland. Strokkur is only a few metres away from Stóri Geysir, or "Great Gusher", once the most powerful geyser of the group. However, unlike Geysir which erupts infrequently and may be dormant for years at a time, Strokkur erupts very reliably every 5-10 minutes, hurling boiling water to heights of up to 20 metres (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.
