Jökulsárlón, also known as Glacier Lagoon, is one of the largest and most famous lakes in Iceland, located at the southern end of the Vatnajökull glacier. With a depth of up to 200 meters, it is the second deepest lake in Iceland. The lake water is a deep blue and clear, filled with variously-shaped large icebergs. One of the highlights of visiting here is taking a tour on an amphibious boat to admire the floating ice blocks. Many famous movies have been filmed here, including "Tomb Raider", "Batman Begins", and two James Bond movies, "Die Another Day" and "A View to a Kill".

Geyser is one of the famous geysers in Iceland, named for its explosive eruptions. It has the highest water column among all geysers and geothermal springs in Iceland, known worldwide. The entire eruption process can be clearly observed from the vent, especially when the boiling water forms a bowl shape before the eruption, and then the water column turns into steam, shooting up to about 20 meters high, which is very magnificent. In addition, the nearby Strokkur geyser erupts approximately every eight minutes, shooting water columns up to 20 meters high, which is also very spectacular. Geyser is a large circular pool with a diameter of about 18 meters, and in the center of the pool, there is a cave-like opening with a diameter of more than 10 centimeters. The water inside the cave can reach temperatures above 100 degrees Celsius. During each eruption, the water in the cave starts to rumble, gradually boiling, and then it shoots out of the opening, soaring into the sky as a steam column, about 20 meters high. It then splashes down, sparkling like pearls and jade. Each eruption lasts about 1 to 2 minutes and then subsides, repeating this cycle continuously, creating a beautiful and magnificent scenery.

The famous geothermal hot spring in Iceland, Blue Lagoon (also known as Blue Lake), is located on the Reykjanes Peninsula. Formed by volcanic lava, the water temperature is around 37-39℃ and rich in minerals such as silicon and sulfur. Soaking in the hot springs allows one to not only admire the beauty of the aurora borealis, but also to treat skin conditions such as psoriasis. It is approximately 13 kilometers from Keflavík International Airport and only 39 kilometers from the capital city of Reykjavik.
