In Iceland you can walk on two different continents at the same time.

From a geological point of view, Iceland is truly incredible. It is in fact the only place in the world where a mid-ocean ridge literally rises out of the water. Iceland is a volcanic island, formed by the accumulation of lava and pyroclastic material (all the products emitted during an explosive eruption) along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Ridges are immense underwater volcanic chains that run through all the oceans. They form when two tectonic plates in contact with each other move apart, fracturing the ocean floor and allowing molten magma to rise. Through this mechanism new crust is continuously produced, gradually “paving” the entire ocean floor. In Iceland’s case, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge separates the North American plate from the Eurasian plate: it is here that the Earth’s crust splits, generating volcanic activity and earthquakes. Precisely because of this geological structure, Iceland is dotted with volcanoes and thermal phenomena such as geysers and hot springs. As if that were not enough, along comes something to amplify it all: the hot spot, an anomalous upwelling of the deep mantle that generates persistent volcanic activity directly above it. And right beneath Iceland lies a hot spot, adding to the activity of the ridge… in short, it could hardly be more volcanic! In Iceland the ridge lies above sea level. So in Iceland you can travel from America to Europe without taking a plane! The ridge can be visited and walked on by anyone with a spirit of adventure, since it crosses the whole of Iceland.


The Blue Lagoon lies less than 40 km from the capital Reykjavík, near Grindavík, and is one of the most visited attractions on the island. It is a thermal lagoon and a genuine natural wellness centre in which to relax and recharge: a geothermal pool of warm water at around 39°C, rich in sulphur and silica, with a characteristic milky colour due to the presence of an alga with healing properties for the skin, Cyanobacteria. If you are thinking of a holiday in Iceland, the Blue Lagoon is an absolute must; here you can also buy products made with these waters, which bring a range of benefits to the skin, as well as wellness packages with massages and other health and beauty treatments, for a day devoted to wellness… even in Iceland! Around 800 years ago there was a major volcanic eruption at this spot, and it is within this volcanic rock that, in 1976, this artificial lake of 6 million litres of warm water was created. The golden beach of Nauthólsvík, built with tonnes of imported sand, also helps to make the atmosphere truly special. And should it rain, you can take a dip in the waters of Árbæjarlaug, at Fylkisvegur, one of the most beautiful indoor pools on the island.
