Introduction

Tjörnin Lake, located in the center of Reykjavik, is not the largest lake in Iceland, but it is the most famous one. When tourists visit Reykjavik, they often come here because it is close to the City Hall, museums, and the University of Iceland. The lake is home to many wildlife, such as ducks, seagulls, and swans. In winter, the lake usually freezes, but geothermal water keeps some areas open for water birds to roam.
