    One of the must see when visting Iceland is Geysir and the Geysir area, park.

    all over the area. </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.randburg.com/is/general/geysir/"><B>Strokkur, Geysirs side-kick</B></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.randburg.com/is/general/geysir/">
    It's alternate, though far less majestic, is Geysirs neighbour Strokkur (translation: 
    piston, cylinder or as most call it "The Churn"), Strokkur only manages to 
    squirt it's steaming water a meagre 60 to 100 feet about once every five.
