The 1000 Places to See Before You Die lumps several wonderful Icelandic experiences into one entry. Frankly, most tourists probably visit them all on Ring Road day trips. The 1000 Places entry for the Ring Road includes mentions of the Blue Lagoon, the original geyser called "Geysir", lava fields, mud pools, steam vents, and the glacial lagoon at Jokulsarlon.
Coordinates here are set at the Blue Lagoon.
There is no fee for most of these sites...except for the Blue Lagoon...which can be visited for free but is quite expensive if one wishes to experience the waters.

Visit Instructions:
Because of the vastness of many of the "non-localized" sites (Gobi Desert, Great Wall of China), waymark owners are encouraged to allow visits that reflect different perspectives and experiences.
Localized waymark sites (Structures, Landmarks, Businesses) should reflect standard waymarking visit criteria (Logs & photos).
