Bjarnarflag near Reykjahlíð, north east Iceland

Located 3 miles east of Reykjahlíð, Bjarnarflag is an active geothermal area on the lower slopes of Dalfjall, a long, faulted ridge that runs north east to Krafla volcano.

Bjarnarflag has a small geothermal power station which was Iceland’s first built in 1969. The outflow has been harnessed to create the Jarðböðin Nature Baths, the local version of Reykjavík’s “Blue Lagoon”.
