The Blue Lagoon

THE BLUE LAGOON !! It's amazing !! I loved it. It was so warm, cosy and great. Heehe.

In the Blue Lagoon you can just sit down and relax in the warm blue wather! You can also swim, if you like or you can put a mud-mask on. You can also get massage.

When I was there, it was very cold outside, so it was great to sit in the warm wather. And when it's cold you don't have to walk outside to get into the shower-room. You can swim into the house - and you'll not be so cold.

Your skin is going to be very soft after you've been in the Blue Lagoon. It's a nice feeling :)))

Everything is pretty new there - the house where the shower-room, informations ect. is.

You have to try it !! :D

The Blue Lagoon... its a must see for anyone landing in Iceland. I'd even go as far as to recommend a long layover in Iceland just so you can experience this relaxing spa. (The Blue Lagoon is right down the road from the Keflavik airport and I believe they have buses directly from the airport to the Lagoon. And there is plenty of locker space to store your luggage while you relax).

Most of Iceland uses geothermal energy (sometimes you can smell the sulfur in the shower!). The water in the Blue Lagoon actually comes from a geothermal power plant. They use the steam coming from deep underground to generate electricity, and when the steam condenses, you get this beautiful powder blue water.

People first realized the medicinal properties of the water and they opened a medical center nearby. It wasn't long before the Blue Lagoon spa was opened up as well.

The water is naturally heated, but I can't remember the temperature. There are different parts of the "lagoon" that are hotter than others, so its just a matter of finding the right spot.

The blue water is complemented with black lava rock and black sand, making the blue even more pronounced. But its not just the landscape that is remarkable, the spa facility itself is quite amazing. It definitely looks like something out of the future. Everything about the place is remarkable.

The Blue Lagoon is a full spa. You can find anything you want here: facials, massages, etc. They sell an assortment of lotions and health products, but they are very high priced. There are also healthy eating options on the premises.

In one word... its simply relaxing. It is well worth the money and time.
