If you’re planning a trip to the Nordic island country of Iceland, consider including a visit to the Blue Lagoon, one of the country’s best-known tourist destinations.
The Blue Lagoon is a human-made pool in a naturally-shaped volcanic landscape. The thermal water is warm as a result of a nearby geothermal power plant emitting heat and using water for cooling. The warm water is filtered and used by the Blue Lagoon to create a thermal water spa.
Don’t worry about the water’s cleanliness, it’s filtered clean and has no toxic attributes, it’s just not a natural spring.
The most popular time to book a visit to the Blue Lagoon is in the evening. This allows visitors to spend the day experiencing Iceland’s more grueling attractions, like whale watching or snowmobiling, and end the day in a relaxing spa session.
Visiting at night during the summer is a great opportunity to make the best of the Nordic midnight sun and during the winter the Northern Lights make a great topic for conversation while hanging out in a geothermal spa pool.
The place offers a wide range of spa treatments, including mud masks, saunas, and steam rooms, and you can enjoy the man-made waterfall simply hang out in the lagoon itself.
