Travel: Iceland. On the edge of geography
The incredibly beautiful waterfalls are one of the visiting cards of the local nature...
Reykjavik: the northernmost capital of the world looks bright and joyful!
A summer trip to Iceland is akin to landing on the moon — incredible landscapes are waiting for you!
Reykjavik is a young and bright city with a special, unique flavor and gives a feeling of pure energy. Thanks to them, by the way, the city got its name. Ask your guide to tell you an ancient Icelandic saga about the settlement of these lands. He will surely tell you about how the discoverers of the island, the Vikings, saw clouds of steam over geothermal springs, mistook them for smoke and called the place Reykjavik - "smoky bay". A vacation in Reykjavik will give you the start of your adventures on the island. One of the most famous geothermal resorts in the world is also located nearby.
Blue Lagoon
A 40-minute drive from the capital, on the Reykjavik Peninsula, you will find the famous Blue Lagoon geothermal pool, which has made Iceland famous among Spa lovers. Turquoise lake overflows right in the center of the field from frozen lava, and its water is extremely saturated with minerals. The skin after bathing here will be soft and smooth. And don't be afraid of the cool Icelandic climate. Regularly taken samples show that "ordinary" bacteria in this ecosystem do not survive, so additional disinfectants — for example, chlorine — are not required for water purification. There are a lot of natural attractions in Iceland, which are good to get acquainted with in the summer. The most popular are united by the route "Golden Ring" (starts in Reykjavik). One of the main stops on the route is Gullfoss Waterfall ("golden waterfall") — the most beautiful in the country. It is also impossible to miss the Heikadalyur Valley, where there is a Large geyser that gave the name to all the hot springs of the planet. However, now it has lost its former power — tourists come to admire its "brother", the more active Strokkur geyser, which emits a column of steam and hot water to a height of 30 meters every 5-10 minutes. Any trip around the country guarantees a lot of impressions and gigabytes of photos. No wonder the profession of a psychoanalyst is not in demand in Iceland — local landscapes restore mental balance and teach you to live in harmony with yourself.
Strokkur geyser — that's the power!
