Grænavatn lake - or The Green lake is right by the road in Krýsuvík, maybe a 10 minutes drive from the mud pool area there.

I stopped by this lake as it has got this most amazing colour, I could not believe that this colour was for real. It is not green per se, more out of this world blue and reddish.

The lake is in an explosion crater, but such craters often have lakes in them, see my tips on Landmannalaugar and Kerið in Grimsnes.

Directions: By the road in Krýsuvík, road 42, coming from the south then it is on your right hand side.

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars
