Grjotagjá, considered the home of an outlaw in the 18th century, was used as a local hot spring until the 1970s. Although it is too warm to bathe after the Krafla eruptions, the caves are very popular due to the deep blue color of the water and its mystical surroundings, especially since they became one of the filming locations of the series Game of Thrones.
