Nesgjá: Water in Its Purest Form

Nesgjá is a breathtaking freshwater fissure with crystal-clear waters, shaped by the movement of the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. Glacial water, filtered through porous lava rock for decades, creates unmatched visibility—often exceeding 100 meters.
This shallow yet stunning lagoon is perfect for snorkeling or diving, offering views of arctic char, colourful sediments, and pristine underwater landscapes. Located on Iceland’s Diamond Circle, near Litlaá lagoon, Ásbyrgi Canyon, Goðafoss, Dettifoss, and Lake Mývatn, Nesgjá is a must-visit stop for adventurers and nature lovers alike.
