On Horsepasture River is Rainbow Falls, a staggering 125-foot waterfall wowing visitors year-round because of the sheer volume of water falling from the rock face and into a deep pool below. The wind and large amounts of water create a mist that rises up the hillside, often creating rainbows when the sun is in the right position. © David Carillet | Dreamstime.com

Sep 17, 2024Uncover the Beauty of Blue Lagoon’s Highland Base Kerlingarfjöll in Iceland
If past trips to Iceland have focused on Reykjavik and nearby sites such as the steamy waters of the Retreat at Blue Lagoon, you may not be familiar with this iconic destination’s other hotel address: Highland Base Kerlingarfjöll, centrally located in an isolated mountain range in the country’s mountain region. It was named for a mythical giantess transformed to stone by the rays of the rising sun, and the resulting 82-foot pillar of volcanic rock still stands as both a reminder of the sun’s might and a powerful argument for sleeping late.
