About
Blesi is a geothermal hot spring in the Icelandic Highlands.
Strokkur is a fountain-type geyser located in a geothermal area beside the Hvítá River in Iceland in the southwest part of the country, east of Reykjavík.
The mineral-rich water has its own smell - earthy, sulfurous. You get used to it. Then you start to love it.
The sulfur smell is normal. Your clothes will smell like it afterwards. Pack accordingly.
