A couple of weeks ago, we went with some friends for a trip on a Saturday. We drove up to a lake named Hítarvatn (aka "hot lake", but don't let the name fool you). The lake is nice though not particularly remarkable. However, the rocks on the road to get there have some of the most amazing colors I've seen. They're volcanic and very light, and come in colors varying from ochre to orange to red to purple, and even some blue and gray.
The day was rather cloudy, so we continued to a "secret" natural hot pot. You basically have to know where it is to find it, and the water in the tiny pool (about 1 meter in diameter) is at a very nice temperature, perhaps 40-42 degrees. We managed to cram in there, all five of us :).

Lots of small lambs at this time of year
