The pristine nature of Iceland: where new lands are born
Geysers are used by the local population not only for heating and as tourist facilities. It is also a valuable wellness resource. For example, a place called the Blue Lagoon is widely known. Here, the boiling water of the geyser is mixed with salty sea water, as a result of which the resulting water has healing properties. Entire pools form in the Blue Lagoon, where people bathe who want to improve their health or just warm themselves.

Such a neighborhood leads to the formation of an interesting and at the same time dangerous phenomenon - an icy eruption. As a result of the eruption of ice volcanoes, the ice cover begins to melt and powerful flows of rocks, water and ice rush along the slopes of the mountains to the ocean. Iceland is the power of pristine nature in all its manifestation.
