The Blue Lagoon

The Blue Lagoon

Located 25 miles away from Reykjavik, the Blue Lagoon ("Blaa Lonid" in Icelandish) is undoubtably the most popular relaxation site in the country. This freshwater aquamarine expanse is actually an artificial lake supplied by the discharge of a geothermal power plant drawing from ground water at 240°C 124 miles under the ground. Its lunar-decorated lava and lichen fields distinguished through a circle of misty smoke make the place worth visiting. Icelandic and tourists travel to this site regularly to paddle in deliciously hot water - between 36°C and 40°C - and because the water is believed to cure eczema and psoriasis.
