Not a geyser, not a spa in Scandinavia.

Doesn't seem to be a geysir but "a unique source of geothermal seawater" .... in the same country, though :wink:

Two questions, osso.

Is your place a thermal lake?
Is it in Turkey?

Also, I did some more research on whether it is in Scandinavia or not. Apparently it depends on what country you are from whether you think it is or not.

On whether it is a thermal lake, I'll say "sort of".

It is not in Turkey.

Now I am confused, y'all. Osso's reply about Scandinavia was perplexing.

Hmmm, "Seawater"?

Well, I'll keep trying.

Sorry it's perplexing, I find it perplexing myself. What you find on google image maps and what you find by other searches will vary.

Iceland is a member of the "Official co-operation in the Nordic region" (aka Scandinavia).

article about Blue Lagoon

When I looked up Scandinavia maps on google images, the ones I saw didn't have Iceland in it.
When I looked up Europe maps, it was included...

Later I checked Wikipedia re Scandinavia -
copying Wikipedia --
Scandinavia is a region in Northern Europe. A common definition includes Denmark, mainland Norway and Sweden. Sometimes Finland is included, even in official contexts,[1] although since the rise of Scandinavism in 1850s, this inclusion divides opinions in all of the respective states. Also Iceland is occasionally included. The usage and meaning of the term varies:
In the English language: "Scandinavia" is often used as a synonym for all the Nordic countries which are Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, with the addition of the autonomous territories of Ă…land, the Faroe Islands and Greenland.[2]
In Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden: Finland and Iceland are not always regarded as a part of Scandinavia. Some North Europeans could even take offence to being / not being classified as Scandinavians according to this definition.
In Germany: Norway, Sweden and Finland are usually included, but Denmark is not.
Estonia sometimes considers itself to be a Scandinavian country by virtue of its cultural heritage and close linguistic links to Finland, although normally Estonia is regarded as one of the Baltic countries. All Baltic states have shared historical events with the Scandinavian countries during the centuries.
