Icelandic geysers that are not Geysir, part one:...
Here are ten photo-graphs of one of my places. It is called Strokkur, and you can look at it when you visit me in a flying machine. If you are too busy and important to do this, you can also just read about it on a new inter-net I made for you about my places, called “Every Single Place in Iceland”. Bless bless, - Iceland

It is true that the humans and animals who live on me are very helpful. For example, my sheep made a moving picture so you could count them and fall asleep.
