Blast from the Past: The Watering Hole

Photobucket

Somehow, the name of this place was never recorded in my travel diary! I do know it was a natural spring on a small farm in Iceland, probably in the Western part of the country. What was really interesting about this spring is that it is both naturally carbonated and has a lot of natural iron in it- hence the orange-ish color of the water! The farmers who own it simply have a bucket hanging next to the spigot, so for a donation you can take as much as you'd like. I personally found the iron to be a bit much, but one of my classmates really liked it. If you ever find yourself in Iceland, try looking for one of these naturally carbonated springs. It really is a one-of-a-kind experience!
