Blue Lagoon in Iceland is a MUST DO!

What and where is the Blue Lagoon? What makes this luxury spa so special, and how was the lagoon formed? Is the Blue Lagoon natural or man-made? How long do you need to maximise your experience here, and just How warm is it?
The Blue Lagoon is one of Iceland's most popular attractions, and it's not hard to see why! The beautiful milky-blue opaque water makes a stark contrast to the surrounding black lava field covered with dark green moss. The Blue Lagoon is a large lake that has the perfect temperature to bathe in, on average it's 39°C/102°F. It is situated on the Reykjanes peninsula in southwest Iceland. It is only a 15-minute drive from the international airport of Keflavík, or around a 30-minute drive from the capital city of Iceland, Reykjavík. That makes it the perfect first stop when arriving in Iceland, or the last stop before you leave the country. Combined with its excellent location and its soothing waters and rich skin nourishment, the Blue Lagoon quickly became Iceland's most visited attraction, rivalled only by the Golden Circle sightseeing tour. Aided by world-known media outlets—such as the National Geographic that named it one of the top 25 Wonders of the World, and Condé Nast Traveller awarding it one of the top 10 spas in the world—the Blue Lagoon is now internationally famous and on the top of many bucket-lists around the world. In fact, the Blue Lagoon has now become so popular that in order to get there you will need to book your entry days or even weeks in advance. And who knows, you might be rubbing shoulders with international celebrities when you do go. Celebrities such as Björk, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have all been spotted in the Blue Lagoon, much to the delight of other visitors.
