Located in the Reykjanes peninsula close to an active geothermal area, Grænavatn (“Green Lake”) is of volcanic origin, its green colour a consequence of algae and minerals present in its water. Different hues of green are observed, a function of lighting conditions, character of the sky above, as well as viewing location and angle. The entire Reykjanes area has an eerie ambience which makes it all the more enchanting.

Dear Rajan,
Just want to thank you for enriching the internet in many ways–with your contributions on music, photographs, and in the early days of the “net,” as a conduit of writings of Ramesh Mahadevan (where is he now, by the way?).
These are without parallel–many, many thanks.

Thanks
Very beautiful.
I wonder if the lake has any fish in it
