The Blue Lagoon hot pools Iceland
The Blue Lagoon is a geothermal spa in Grindavík, southwestern Iceland. Located between Keflavik Airport and the capital of Reykjavik, the Blue Lagoon is the perfect stop on the way in or out of Iceland. Contrary to popular belief, the lagoon is man-made. It was formed when discharged water from Svartsengi geothermal power station failed to seep through the lava because of its high silica content. In fact, the lagoon is a milky blue shade because of the way silica reflects sunlight. Today, the Blue Lagoon is one of the major tourist attractions in Iceland.
