The Blue Lagoon

The Blue Lagoon geothermal spa is located in a lava field in Grindavík on the Reykjanes Peninsula. It is one of the most popular tourist sites in Iceland. The water is about 104 degrees (similar to a hot tub) and is rich in minerals like silica and sulfur. The lagoon is fed by the water output of the nearby geothermal power plant.

It was a great experience to be in an outdoor hot spring on a snowy day. I captured this shot as we were headed back to our bus.
