Introduction

The Blue Lagoon lies on the black lava fields of the Reykjanes peninsula, about 45 minutes from Reykjavik and just 20 from Keflavik airport. Its milky-blue geothermal water comes from the nearby Svartsengi power plant, rich in silica and sulphur and held at 37-39 degrees year-round — blissful even in midwinter snow. Float with a free silica mud mask, order a drink at the swim-up bar, or steam under the northern lights. The Blue Lagoon is Iceland's most-visited attraction after the Golden Circle; book a time slot online well in advance, especially in high season.
