▲ The Fagradalsfjall Volcano is located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. The Reykjanes Peninsula volcanic system, where it resides, became active again in the 21st century after over 6,000 years of dormancy. The volcanic system spans 5-16 km and is primarily characterized by basalt landscapes. Research indicates this region exhibits alternating cycles of 200-300 years of activity followed by 800-1,000 years of dormancy.
▲ The Blue Lagoon is located in Grindavik on the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwestern Iceland. Formed by volcanic lava, this geothermal spa features waters at a temperature of approximately 37-39°C, rich in minerals like silica and sulfur, which give the lagoon its distinctive milky-blue hue.
▲ The Blue Lagoon has now become an iconic symbol of Iceland, and many visitors choose to enjoy a relaxing soak here during their trip.
