When I watched this geyser "Strokkur", tourists counted down all together as waiting following blasts. I just expected the tourists who could feel awkward to find no blast after countdown, but there was very few. Instead, we could hear the explosion sounds of blasts thoroughly to describe the elevation in contrast to sound of "fallen water" from "gullfoss" without any disturbance. It was impossible for me to take a picture who could portray the heights because of my limited view-finder. Of course, the scientific fact that entrapped steam by geothermal heat can push away water beneath the earth surface is absolutely attractive, but the beautiful scene of the blasts, itself, was unforgettably beautiful.
Strokkur 뒤 둔덕에 오르면, 또 다른 멋진 풍경을 만날 수 있었다. 비록 하늘로 솟구치지는 않지만 하늘을 그대로 담은 듯한 연못들이 발길을 붙잡는다. 수면 위의 잔 물결이 없었다면 하늘을 찍었다해고 해도 이상할 것이 없는 모습을 한동안 바라 보았다. 또 다른 연못은 마치 호수 기저에 금은보화를 담고 있는 듯 물에 구리빛이 살짝 돌고 있었다. 마치 보물을 찾기 위해 해저를 탐험하는 잠수부들이 발견할 법한 검은 입구가 우리의 시선을 사로잡았다.
Behind Strokkur, there were other beautiful ponds that mirrored blue sky. This milky water was just like another photo that took sky. The water in another pond have a kind of goldish water that might have treasure under the water. The black hole under this kind of goldish water seemed a secret entrance into another world.
그러는 와중에도 Strokkur는 쉬지 않고 물을 터뜨리고 있었다.
