Fissures Filled with Clear Water

Thingvellir NP, Iceland

As temperature rises seasonally, glacier melts and water has percolated down into lava beds. That rock formation acts as filter and water reappears as super clear spring water in the down-gradient direction, filling the fissures at this location. So, the water is being refreshed constantly. At a more accessible spot, not too far away from these fissures, there is a diving facility to explore the underwater world there. Interesting but I am not into diving....
