  The people of Reykjavik are used to lying down for the winter, when each day brings with it only a few hours of sunlight. And then comes February, they're more than ready to wake up from hibernation (冬眠) and welcome the first signs of spring. The local authorities decided this was a good time of the year to try to raise people's spirits, and in 2002 they set up the Winter Lights Festival. Starting out as Museum Night, when museums waived their fees and stayed open until midnight, the festival has grown into an event that marks the coming return of daylight. For a few days, the city comes alive with bright light, street performances, theater, dance, and live music. Shops, cafes, outdoor hot pools and the museums stay open until 12 pm and they're all free of charge, with free bus services provided. Here are another two things about Reykjavik that will help you celebrate the coming end of winter.

  The Blue Lagoon is Iceland's most famous tourist attraction.Being an amazing place at any time of day, it is magical at dusk, when the steamy, ice­blue waters shine in color. Little wooden bridges and walkways connect smaller pools with a larger pool. Between them, they contain geothermal (地热的) seawater heated from 370℃ to 390℃. The Lava Restaurant has great views over the waters. Basic entrance to the lagoon costs $44.

  The Imagine Peace Tower, Yoko Ono's memorial to John Lennon, was first lit by Ono on October 9,2007, Lennon's birthday, and shone until December 8, the date he was killed in 1980. It's lit on the same date every year, as well as New Year's Eve and the spring equinox (春分). The tower contains 15 searchlights that send a column of light 4,000 m up into the night sky. Guided tours are available with pickup from your hotel for $39.
