Brimketill is a natural lava rock pool located on the Reykjanes Peninsula in Iceland. This unique marine feature is formed by the relentless waves of the Atlantic Ocean carving into the dark volcanic rocks, creating a strikingly beautiful and rugged coastal pool. Known locally as 'the White Lady’s Cauldron,' it offers a mesmerizing spectacle of nature's raw power.

The key features of Brimketill include its clear, turquoise waters contrasting against the black lava rocks, and the dramatic interplay of waves crashing into the pool, creating a dynamic and ever-changing environment. Visiting Brimketill at high tide or during stormy weather is particularly captivating, as the waves dramatically surge and spray over the surrounding rocks.

Brimketill is situated on the southwest coast of the Reykjanes Peninsula, just a short drive from the town of Grindavík. The location is easily accessible with a designated parking area and a viewing platform that provides a safe vantage point to observe the pool and the powerful ocean waves.

Nearby attractions include the famous Blue Lagoon, a geothermal spa that is one of Iceland's most popular destinations, and the Gunnuhver Hot Springs, which are known for their steamy, geothermal activity.
