lunar lava landscape of the Reykjanes Peninsula – The lagoon is conveniently located a short distance from Keflavik International Airport and The Reykjavik Capital Area. The unique location and surroundings, the perfect temperature of the milky blue water in the lagoon (37-39 degrees Celsius) and healing powers from minerals make The Blue Lagoon a perfect destination when visiting Iceland. Visitors of the Blue lagoon can enjoy thermal spa saunas and steam baths carved out of a lava with a massaging waterfall. The facilities also include shops, cafés and a viewing deck where those not tempted to dip into the water can observe the area. Water streaming to the Blue Lagoon is supplied from the adjacent geothermal power plant at Svartsengi by utilizing the warm and clean discharge water from electrical production. It is a good idea to check out bathing norms and rules before you visit the lagoon.
