About the Blue Lagoon:
This relaxing geothermal water includes three active ingredients, including silica, algae and minerals. The blue color comes from the silica and the way it reflects sunlight. During the summer the water can have more of a mint green hue due to the algae multiplying more quickly because of the direct sunlight and heat. The sun makes the water look blue, but the water itself is actually a milky white.
The water temperature fluctuates between 37-40 degrees Celsius (98-104 degrees Fahrenheit) year-round and the lagoon contains 6 million liters of water. The water is also self-cleansing and renews itself every 40 hours. The pool's depth varies, but most of it is between 2 to 4 feet deep. The deepest point is about 5 feet deep.
The water originates about 2,000 meters below the surface, where freshwater and seawater combine at extreme temperatures. It is then harnessed via drilling holes at a nearby geothermal power plant, Svartsengi, to create electricity and hot water for nearby communities.
The geothermal water is said to have many benefits and is a perfect temperature for relaxing.
Suggestions While Visiting:
Stay hydrated, use conditioner, remove all jewelry and skip the goggles (The water is too blurry to see underwater). Also bring sunglasses, a bathing suit and a towel.
