The Blue Lagoon is located South-West of Reykjavik near the fishing village of Grindavik on the Reykjanes Peninsula. A high-temperature geothermal field supplies the hot water to the Reykjanes district and steam to run the power plant, and it is the mineral-rich overflow water from this operation that fills the Lagoon. The geothermal water is pumped up from 2,000 metres below the Earths surface. High levels of silica, minerals and algae give the Blue Lagoon its rich blue colour. It was in 1980 that people began to bathe in the Blue Lagoon and since then its popularity has continued to increase. Last year some 170.000 bathers enjoyed the Lagoons facilities. The new bathhouse and bathing facilities can accommodate 900 guests. Whether in the middle of winter surrounded by snow, or in the long summer daylight, the Lagoon is exciting, invigorating and superbly relaxing. On Tour RE/718 between late Autumn and early Spring the Northern Lights are often seen dancing in the sky, when conditions allow a stop will be made in the lava fields so that you may experience the spectacular display of undulating colours.
