BLUE LAGOON, ICELAND

BLUE LAGOON, ICELAND

Iceland's most popular visitor attraction, the Blue Lagoon is a giant bathtub that pools six million litres of geothermal seawater from 2000 meters beneath the earth's surface. By the time it reaches the lagoon, the mineral-rich milky, aqua blue waters simmer at temperatures between 37 and 39°C. In addition to the lagoon, there's a sauna, steam bath carved out of a lava cave and a massaging waterfall. A shop, café and viewing deck keeps spectators amused.
It is situated in a lava field in Grindavik on the Reykjanes Peninsula, on Iceland's south-west coast, 45 minutes from Reykjavik, the country's capital and 25 minutes from Keflavik Airport.


Blue Lagoon is an out-and-out tourist attraction, it manages to wow even the biggest cynics with its special brand of geothermal magic. Slow poaching your cares away and daubing on white-silica mud against a backdrop that is spectacularly lunar is enough to send your endorphins hurtling into a feel-good frenzy.
