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.

Anastasia Scenic Area is located on the North Atlantic coast of Iceland, with enchanting harbor towns and a series of picturesque houses like a pastoral poem. It has sparkling transparent oceans, towering cliffs, and scattered mysterious basalt columns, which complement each other and form a beautiful picture. The surrounding mountains in Anastasia overlook the magnificent views of the North Atlantic. It has a long history and was once an important trading port, showcasing an elegant and noble atmosphere. There are also Iceland's stunning natural landscapes, such as the mysterious Reykjafossá fissure, the spectacular Snæfellsjökull snow peak, and the magnificent coastal cliffs. The charming little harbor is hidden between rocks and caves, and at the end of the cliff there is a copper-engraved stone arch, Gatklettur, loved by engravers. At the end of Anastasia, a road approaches a huge natural cave leading to the harbor, where seawater passes through from above, creating a beautiful scenery. It feels a bit like the Mediterranean, with many seabirds battling the waves here, truly spectacular.
