Iceland, a Nordic country, has a large crack caused by plate activity. There is a deep and blue stream hidden in the crack. The clear underwater world has become a check-in place for many diving enthusiasts.
Thingvellir National Park is located in central Iceland, where a large fissure known as the Silfra Fissure is about 50 kilometers from the capital Reykjavik.
This crevice is filled with clear and bottomless water, dyed blue-green with seaweed. The gorgeous landscape has attracted many people to dive here, wanting to see the rare demeanor of this underwater world.
The Great Fissure of Silva is a world-famous cold water diving site. The underwater visibility can exceed 100 meters, and the water temperature is between 2°C and 4°C all year round. It is understood that the water in the Silfra fissure comes from the Langjökull glacier, Iceland’s second largest glacier. For decades, water from melting glaciers has flowed here through an underground tunnel about 50 kilometers long, creating a natural filtration system. The flow of the water can also keep the water from freezing, and diving enthusiasts can find a blue and quiet place under the water all year round.
Iceland is rich in tourism resources. The main tourist attractions include glaciers, volcanic landforms, geothermal fountains and waterfalls. Tourism is currently the country’s largest industry, accounting for 29% of GDP.
In 2021, Iceland’s tourism industry will start to recover, with 5.01 million overnight visitors, a year-on-year increase of 51.8%.
