About Blue Lagoon
The Blue Lagoon is an artificial hot spring. The nearby geothermal plant operates by exposing water to superheated geothermal vents, converting the water to steam. Once the steam condenses back into water, it is fed into the Blue Lagoon. In this sense, the Blue Lagoon is a hot spring, but no pool existed here prior to construction of the geothermal power plant. The setting is impressive and the baths are almost unique in the world (their closest counterparts are the Nature Baths inMývatn,North Iceland). However, they are also slightly overpriced and overcrowded, as is to be expected of a place so popular. Adhere to the signs:
