Hvalfjörður Flock
Hvalfjörður is Icelandic for Whale-fjord. Driving along the cost of this fjord reveals some of the most majestic sights you’ll ever see. Everything is so immense that it seems as if the landscape were created for giants. The mountains, volcanoes, shores, waves, and distances between everything are incredible. Immense is quickly becoming the appropriate term for most of the things I’ve seen in Iceland. Blesi Hot Spring
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.
