Blue Lagoon
Forget shelling out hundreds of thousands of dollars to travel into space: Instead, make an intergalactic journey without ever leaving Earth. Travel to one of these locales for a glimpse of an extraordinary landscape that will make you feel like you’re on another planet.
The Blue Lagoon in Iceland consists of man-made pools that are filled from hot springs created by volcanic activity on the island. Largely consisting of mineral-rich waters. On cold winter days, the steam rising around these pools, surrounded by snow and ice, creates an eerie ambience. —Sonja Groset

BLUE PORCELAIN CRAB
Not true crabs, Porcelain crabs are small, usually with body widths of less than 15 millimetres (0.6 in). They share the general body plan of a squat lobster, but their bodies are more compact and flattened, an adaptation for living and hiding under rocks.
Porcelain crabs are quite fragile animals, and will often shed their limbs to escape predators, hence their name. The lost appendage can grow back over several moults.
Porcelain crabs have large chelae (claws), which are used for territorial struggles, but not for catching food. The fifth pair of pereiopods are reduced and are used for cleaning.
