Geyser, August 2013

One of a few locations in Iceland simply called "Geysir", this one is the site of the long-dormant Great Geyser ("stori-geysir"). A few steps away from that quiet poool, a geyser called "Strokkur" ("churn") erupts every few minutes but is less than half as tall as the Great one had been.
