Hidden gem with dangerous water

Sightseeing

Message from Nicole Zohdi

Stóragjá is a hidden gem in North Iceland, tucked away near Reykjahlíð. This unique rift features a cave filled with naturally heated geothermal water, but don't be tempted to take a dip - the water's beautiful blue hue is actually due to dangerous algae and unhealthy bacteria levels. While it may not have the same fame as Grótagjá cave from Game of Thrones, Stóragjá is definitely worth a visit for those seeking a quieter and off-the-beaten-path experience in Iceland.
