In case you hadn’t been at the following site previously, I thought I’d send the link along. For those who are not sure of the language, Google can be set to automatically translate text from Icelandic into English. I’ve provided the link for the educational video about the Blue Lagoon. All you have to do is click on the Video tab to see the other videos that are available. Some bring back good memories such as the one on Gullfoss Coffee and The Geothermal Energy. Some that I know are in English include; Erro – Drawings, Gullfoss Coffee, The Geothermal Energy, Volcano House, Viking World, The Hand Knitting Association of Iceland, Munaðarnes Restaurant & Cottages, and Álafoss. In the Álafoss video I did a double take as either Gloria or her look alike was in this video.

Icelands Loch Ness monster
According to the legend, a small heather worm was put onto a golden ring so that the precious metal would grow and so in turn the ring. However, when the owner of the ring returned he found, to his horror, that the ring was no bigger but that the worm had in fact grown enormously. The owner then threw the ring and worm into Lagarfljot river where the creature continued to grow and grow.
The latest purported video of the creature was taken by local resident Hjortur Kjerulf and appears to show something meandering its way through the waters.
However, the short clip has not been enough to win over the doubters, who claim that the mythical worm is nothing more than an innocuos bit of old net, thawing out after becoming frozen in the water and snaking its way through the river.
What do you think? Is this footage proof that Iceland's Loch Ness-style river worm does indeed slither among us?
