  Strokkur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Strokkur (meaning The Churn in Icelandic) is a geyser in the Haukadalur valley in southern Iceland.
Strokkur is only a few metres away from Geysir, the original geyser.
However, unlike Geysir which erupts infrequently and may be dormant for years at a time, Strokkur erupts very reliably every 5-10 minutes, hurling boiling water to heights of up to 20 metres.

People say, however, that Strokkur no longer hurls its water to as great a height as it once did, and this is confirmed by looking at the accounts of earlier travellers.
