Say hello to Blesi. Blesi is a hot spring that consists of two large basins. The first basin contains boiling colorless water with a high silica content that empties out into the second basin. As the water moves from the first basin into the second, it cools and turns the azure blue color that you see pictured above due to the lower temperature and silica content. The water is cool enough that you could swim in it, though you’d likely be imprisoned for doing so.
