Imagine the least-silly person you know. Maybe they never crack a smile. Maybe they dress in a repetitive style. Maybe they never do voice impersonations, or jump over puddles, or shake their booty when a good song comes on. Maybe it’s time to introduce that person to geocaching, and bring them to this Geocache of the Week.

Some Like It Hot is a very silly cache. It’s themed after the 1959 Marylin Monroe movie of the same name, in which two musicians disguise themselves as part of an all-female band in order to flee from the mob. The cache page says, “To log this cache, you have to prove that you are willing to join the band.” To help with that, the cache is stuffed full of silly garments… and the results are amazing.

Every now and then, it’s nice to recognize a geocache that just makes people laugh. A little laughter is probably what the world needs right now (in addition to many, many other important things of course!).

Jökulsárlón, Iceland

On the southeastern coast of Iceland lies Jökulsárlón, which translates literally to ‘Glacial River Lagoon’. Situated at the head of the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier, Jökulsárlón lake is dotted with iridescent icebergs. A mountain range underlines the sky in every landward direction.

It’s no wonder this place is a popular setting for dramatic, pinnacle scenes in Hollywood movies. The traditional cache here is part of a series of geocaches hidden at filming locations in Iceland. It marks the spot where a scene from the James Bond epic film Die Another Day was filmed. The movies A View to a Kill and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider also had scenes shot here.

The cache container itself fits the James Bond theme... kind of.

The cache page notes, “Extra points if you upload a picture of yourself in front of the lake posing as James Bond.” And geocachers definitely have been doing that… though some of them appear to be reproducing scenes from the film’s outtakes!
