Sitting where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Arctic Ocean, Iceland is a special place full of other-worldly treks and a truly magnificent volcanic landscape.
A 40-minute drive from Reykjavík, the Blue Lagoon is a gorgeous geothermal spa that's one of the most-visited places in Iceland.
At an average temperature of around 100 °F, the lagoon's nutrient-rich waters are reported to fix all sorts of skin ailments, from psoriasis to eczema. People travel thousands of miles to bathe in these nutrient-rich waters. Others come to simply relax.
Besides swimming, you can have a drink at the in-water bar, pamper yourself with a massage or skin treatment, or relax at one of the exclusive lounges.
The waters of the Blue Lagoon form when seawater meets volcanic magma deep underground and mixes to create warm sulphur-rich water.
The water temperature averages averages 37–39 °C (98–102 °F), and the waters are said to have all sorts of healing powers.
Though the land is natural, the lagoon is actually fed by a nearby geothermal power plant, which heats and renews the water every few days.
