Geyser in Iceland
Strokkur one of the most famous and active geysers of iceland
Strokkur Geyser was first mentioned in 1789 after an earthquake unblocked the conduit of the geyser. Its activity fluctuated in the 19th century; in 1815, its height was estimated to be 60 meters. It continued to erupt until the turn of the 20th century when another earthquake blocked the conduit again. In 1963 a 40-meter deep hole was drilled from the bottom of its basin, after which it has spouted or at least squirted merrily ever since. Discharge from the spring, or rather from the borehole, is currently 2.5 l/s. And the geyser in iceland has been regularly erupting ever since. This action successfully brought Strokkur back to life, and its eruptions are now very reliable.
