The largest geysers - Strokkur
Iceland is a land of geysers. There are over 250 geysers in Iceland, of which about 30 are active. Geysers are hot springs that erupt, shooting a column of water and steam up to several tens of meters high. Geysers are formed as a result of geothermal activity. The water that feeds the geyser is heated by hot rocks beneath the ground. When the water temperature reaches the right level, an eruption occurs. Geysers are one of the most popular natural wonders of Iceland. They attract tourists from all over the world who want to see this amazing phenomenon. The geyser in the photo is Strokkur, one of the most popular geysers in Iceland. It is located in the Haukadalur Valley, in the southwestern part of the island. Strokkur erupts every 5-10 minutes on average, shooting a column of water up to 30 meters high.
