Blue Lagoon
Iceland is famous for its majestic nature with countless active volcanoes, large and small rivers, and beautiful bays. Despite the harsh cold climate, this place is compensated by a vibrant natural warm underground water system. Therefore, people often call this place "the land of ice and fire".
Visitors can not miss exploring the most famous hot spring that is Blue Lagoon - the most beautiful hot spring in the world. Blue Lagoon is in southwestern Iceland. It is located in a lava field near Grindavík and front of Mount Þorbjörn on the Reykjanes Peninsula, in a favorable location for geothermal energy, and is powered by water used in the nearby Svartsengi geothermal power plant. Only about 13 km from Keflavik International Airport. Tourists before coming to Blue Lagoon can slowly feel the wild and poetic beauty of a corner of Reykjanes along the way.
This place is known to be a part of a volcanic region, but in 1970, an accident at a nearby thermal power plant caused molten lava to flow into the river, turning the water a strangely beautiful jade-green color. Moreover, the temperature is warm, always ranging from 37 to 40 degrees Celsius thanks to the factory adjustment, which is highly suitable for a dip. That is why since then, Blue Lagoon has become a favorite resort destination. Although the geographical distance is far, it does not affect the number of tourists flocking here.
