Blue Lagoon
The Blue Lagoon is a mineral-rich, geo-thermally heated spa and pool on the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwestern Iceland. It’s famous for its relaxing and restoring properties, due in part to the high sulfur and silica content in its vibrant blue water. Situated in the midst of a black lava field, the Blue Lagoon is one of Iceland’s most popular tourist destinations—thousands of people each year enjoy its soothing waters.
