Strokkur

Strokkur releases powerful bursts of water and steam into the sky, reaching heights of 30 meters during its regular eruptions every 6 to 10 minutes.

The geyser emerged in 1789 following an earthquake that unblocked its conduit, leading to documented eruptions reaching 60 meters high by 1815.

This natural formation stands as a cornerstone of Iceland's geothermal heritage, representing the country's connection with its volcanic and geological foundations.

Visitors can access the site through marked pathways that include designated viewing areas, with protective barriers ensuring safety during observation of eruptions.

The geyser maintains consistent eruption patterns throughout the year, making it one of the few predictable natural geysers in the world.
