Strokkur Geyser
Geothermal
Strokkur is a fountain-type geyser located in the geothermal area of Haukadalur beside the Hvita River in southwest Iceland, roughly 100 km east of Reykjavik and a key stop on the Golden Circle route. Unlike the dormant Great Geysir nearby, Strokkur erupts with impressive regularity every 6 to 10 minutes, shooting a column of boiling water typically 15 to 20 metres into the air. On occasion eruptions reach up to 40 metres. The churning blue bubble that forms just before each eruption has become one of Iceland's most photographed natural phenomena.
