 Grindavík is one of
the most important fishing towns of Iceland. Tourism plays an increasing
role and commerce and light industry thrive well. Grindavik boasts of
the small park Solarve near the swimming pool. It was built in an
ancient fashion and is dedicated to the old culture. Algerian
buccaneers came robbing and plundering in 1627. Just a century (1652)
before the Icelanders, Danes and Germans united against the English, who
were driven away after a bloody battle
The Svartsengi Area, just
north of Grindavik, is a powerful high temperature area with a power
plant serving the southwest corner of the country. Its
condence water created the Blue Lagoon accidentally, and was immediately
used for bathing with good results for those who suffered from skin
diseases.
