A glimpse of my time spent at the Blue Lagoon in Iceland. It was beyond one of those surrealistic experiences. I was sitting there thinking “I’m in Iceland. Surrounded by lava rocks. In 100 degree water on a 30 degree day. What is my life about? And how did I get so lucky?”

The Blue Lagoon website explains best why this geothermal spa is such a wonder…

“The Blue Lagoon geothermal seawater is a part of an ecocycle where nature and science work in harmony. The seawater originates 2000 meter/6562 ft beneath the ground where it is heated by earth’s natural forces. At this depth the temperature is 240°C/464°F and the pressure is 36 times the pressure on the earth’s surface. The geothermal seawater comes into contact with cooling magmatic intrusions and captures the earth’s minerals, resulting in this unique natural source known for its healing power and actives. “
