Iceland is well known for its geological features and geysers are one such phenomenon. They are found in areas of volcanic activity. The water is heated by magma below the earth's surface and when the pressurised water boils it is forced up into the air though a vent in the earth's surface. Strokkur erupts every few minutes to a height of about 30 meters, it's impressive to watch. Strokkur is Icelandic for churn.
