Discover the Silfra Fissure, one of Iceland's most desirable snorkeling spots. The blue waters in this narrow channel meander from the Langjökull Glacier through giant lava fields and into Thingvellir, where the Eurasian and American tectonic plates are slowly separating. Witness supernatural shades of blue, perfect visibility and incredible rock formations.
From the comfort of a warmly insulated drysuit, enjoy the feeling of ultimate serenity and weightlessness as you drift peacefully along with the lazy current, awe-stricken at the spectacle in the depths below! Frequently rated as one of the world's top ten dive sites, the Silfra offers up to 150 meters of underwater visibility.
