Some landscapes feel unfamiliar even when you are standing in front of them. These ten destinations bring together vivid water, unusual formations and dramatic settings, from Iceland's Blue Lagoon to Greece's Melissani Lake.
10. Blue Lagoon, Iceland
You probably knew this would be an entry on this list. You can’t talk about Iceland without at least one mention of the Blue Lagoon – the famed geothermal spa that counts among the most visited places in the world. The striking blue waters of the lagoon are heated by a natural hot water spring which, if locals are to be believe, also holds medicinal properties. While that may be up for debate, what you can’t question is the sheer striking beauty of the place.
