Iceland Magic: Geysers

In the land of cold and ice, water vapors betray its hidden seething innards

Hot water bubbles to the surface, ready to fill a tea pot

But here, a much fiercer force is preparing to emerge. His name is Strokkur.

Excitement builds

And then he blows

Hurling himself towards the sky

A force that cannot be contained – exuberant, reckless, wild

Spent, he curls back inside the stony caverns

For a few moments, calm returns. But everyone knows, it’s only the quiet before the next storm.

Here are Litli Geysir and Strokkur caught on video:
