Mind-Blowing Iceland Facts to Make You Fall in Love with the Country
Coin-Tossing Will Not Grant Wishes
Iceland is a popular tourist destination, attracting more than two million visitors each year. Tourists are expected to abide by certain rules when visiting the country and one of these rules concerns the magical properties of springs; throwing coins into them will not grant wishes. This has become a problem for the Environment Agency of Iceland.
Visitors to the Geysir geothermal area had been throwing coins into the geyser Blési for years. To combat this, ranger Lárus Kjartansson has considered installing more prominent signs to discourage this behavior. It is important to respect Iceland’s natural wonders and to leave coin-tossing to other destinations.
