Awlright Geezer! (old gags are the best).
Luke Francis
The last major trip of the day was the awe inspiring sight of the stukklar geyser which erupted so often you couldnt avoid the boiling steam clouds. it rose 30 meters into the sky towering over all of us. There where some technical issues such as the batteries freezing in the camera. The causes of the geyser were somewhat vague (Mr Quick) but thanks to Mr Pickersgills A2 notes have given sufficient insight into the matter, (something to do with superheating of the water trapped in the rocks causing a build up of pressure as the gases of the rhyolitic magma slowly escape eventually leading to the sudden release of pressure as the steam explodes forth into the sky). We actually wanted to see the famed old geyser but nature had other ideas and it was out of order.
