The Blue Lagoon is an uncommon geothermal spa in Iceland situated amongst Reykjavik and Keflavik International Airport in the core of a magma field on the Reykjanes Peninsula. Notwithstanding for Iceland, which is well known for its weird and inquisitive scenes, the Blue Lagoon, with its smooth white calm waters, is an odd sight. The tidal pond is man-made and nourished by water from the Svartsengi, a close-by geothermal power plant.

As a matter of fact, the water that goes to the spa has a couple of employments to do before being utilized for excellence and unwinding: superheated water is directed from underground close to a magma stream and is then used to run turbines and produce power. In the wake of going through the turbines, the high temp water and steam go through a warmth exchanger and give boiling water to a city water warming framework. At exactly that point is the water nourished into the tidal pond for restorative and recreational purposes. The warm waters in the tidal pond are rich in silica, sulfur, and different minerals and washing in the Blue Lagoon is viewed as valuable for certain skin conditions.
