The ironman of travel Yoshimasa Ikeuchi

Hot water is charged, but tap water is free. I envy the utility bill for ordinary households, which is about 2,500 yen per month. Hekla (1492m), an active volcano, was the last earthquake in February 2000. It's quiet now. Among the many waterfalls, Hraunfossar is my favorite.

Hot water rises on one side, and tourists gather around it. The guide warns us that we should never stand downwind. It seems that you may get burned with boiling water. The distance between the spouts (2m) reminiscent of magma breathing is different each time.　

Clear ice. You can drink the best mineral water by twisting the tap. The abundant water source is glaciers. You can immediately break into the wilderness from the town of Reykjavik. A glacier can be seen beyond the flat land overlooking the distance. Countless waterfalls flow down from the glacier.

The source of the most delicious water in the world

Dynamic Gullfoss

It's worth driving along the bumpy road for 2 hours and 30 minutes from the town. The waterfall that flows down is full of minerals. The one that I wished for would be forever engraved in my memory of visiting the Islands. One of the recommended places for traveling ironmen.

Another waterfall overwhelms what you see. Spectacular waterfall "Gullfoss". (River width 70m, head 32m) Water droplets rise like smoke and have an eerie force. A violent and dynamic beauty that makes you chill when you look from the top of the rock. This is also the brave figure of nature created by glaciers.

On the one hand, a small Geysir that spouts a source at 98 ° C. Tomatoes made in a nearby greenhouse using this hot water. What is the taste of the tomatoes I bought for tonight's table? It's nice to be able to drink "whisky on the rock" again tonight with the best tap water in the world after a thousand years.

If you observe carefully, the water surface will rise and you will think that it has changed to blue, and the hot water column will rise to the air at once. It makes me think that it will go higher. Expectations never end and it's hard to leave this place.

Geyser in the northeast of Reykjavik. What used to blow up 60m to 70m is now reborn as a new geyser. "Strokkur" blows hot water every 5 minutes (30m).

The waterfall that springs out of the lava (1km wide) is a waterfall that has been sunk underground for 200 years. The beauty of the waterfall is like watching magic. The pattern drawn by the water curtain changes every second.
