blue lagoon


An essential visit during time in Iceland is to go to the Blue Lagoon. I was unprepared for the luxurious experience that greeted us. It is a myriad of intercoinnected lagoons, with their water heated from the nearby geothermal rocks, and utilising drill holes that go down 2000 metres.

But oh, it is so much more. Covering an area of 400,000 m² in the heart of the Reykjanes UNESCO Global Geopark, Blue Lagoon is a place where nature, science, design, and wellness converge, creating a world of 'warmth, wonder, and wellbeing'.

There are paths connecting all of its experience areas, although the best plan is to walk along blue waterways through landscapes rich with geothermal, geological, and floral phenomena.

It is pamper central, with fluffy bathrobes, and two or three skin creams to apply to help shed those years.

There's the bar in the pool, where one can partake of beverages, and the lagoons go on seemingly forever. Yes, it is vast and heated to a very warm temperature, which makes wandering around in the icy winds very enjoyable. Just remember where you've left the dressing gown for any short walks in the air!
