I’m confident that many of you are by now expecting that we travel to Iceland for Tuesdays. I’m planning to keep this theme going for a good while until you either have seen enough Iceland photos or I run out of them. The latter is just an excuse to go back for more photography! This week we’re visiting one of the iconic geysers of Iceland: Strokkur.
Here’s an eruption sequence for you to enjoy…
During the August 2022 trip, we got to spend about an hour at Strokkur, which gave me enough time to get a sense of its rhythm. The eruptions occur about every 8-10 minutes, but not every eruption reaches the same height.
I figured out that the important aspect is to keep an eye on the blue bubble. You can almost feel the geyser breathe through the expansion and contraction of the bubble. After several smaller eruptions, I had a sense that this might be the one!
I was definitely not disappointed. As a matter of fact the height was even more than I anticipated! This sequence of 7 images was shot over about 2 seconds. It may have been a gray, rainy day, but the spectacle was worth it nonetheless!
