Out of the Jurisdiction: Strokkur

 

Strokkur is a very active geyser in the Haukadalur Geothermal Field.  Nearby is the now dormant Geysir, the geyser that gave its name to the phenomenon.  Strokkur is now the most active geyser in the field.  It goes off every eight to ten minutes and shoots 80 to 120 feet into the air.

Thank you for pointing out the origin of the term geyser. They are always impressive to see.
