    Blue Lagoon

    July 7, 2023 in Iceland ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    Ending the day and our road trip with a stop at Blue Lagoon, a site that is filled with minerals, this is because the saltwater comes from 2000 metres below the ground and is heated to over 2000* before rising through the ground and being saturated in rich minerals. It then arrives at the surface at around 38* and is then pumped into the lagoon. Signs say that the entire lagoon is replenished with fresh water every 40 hours.

    We had a great time floating round, relaxing, enjoying the sauna, steam baths, cold water showers and most of all the face masks. I don’t know why but some people decided to plaster their entire faces, heads, shoulders and backs with it. So many of them looked like the Michelin Man.

    Either way it is difficult to look cool when your face is caked in white glue.
