The Blue Lagoon

The Blue Lagoon's large bathing area is filled with blissfully warm seawater, around 98° to 102° Fahrenheit. It's outflow from a nearby geothermal power plant, and because it's bacteria-resistant, there's no need to treat the water with chlorine. Every two days, the water is renewed, so it's frequently freshened.

Icelandic fun fact #3: One hundred percent of the electricity produced in Iceland comes from renewable sources such as geothermal and hydroelectric plants.

This looks like the spa where they filmed Hostel Part 2! Creepy but Beautiful!

Beautyaddict13, start saving! It's a beautiful country. I drove around the southern coast, and it's awe-inspiring. Made sure to stop at the Blue Lagoon a few hours before my flight home, too. It's such a nice way to start or end a trip.Celestialkat, I'm so glad you went! It sounds like you had an amazing time. How was the daylight in September? I can't decide whether to go back next October, for Airwaves, or to save up to go during prime tourist season (pluses: puffins, near-constant sun. minuses: prime tourist season).

My husband and I went to Iceland in September. One of our last days there, we went to the Blue Lagoon, almost backing out because we didn't want to spend that much money to swim in a salt water pool for an hour and then be ready to go. We are so glad we went!! We ended up staying about 4 or 5 hours and the experience was just incredible. There where a couple of spots the water was too hot to stand, but the lagoon was heaven.
