- The Blue Lagoon is a geothermal spa found on the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwest Iceland. It is home to one of 25 wonders of the world, a place where the powers of geothermal seawater create transformational spa journeys. The Blue Lagoon is considered to have such notable regenerative qualities because the water is rich in silica and sulfur. The temperature in the bathing and swimming area is very comfortable, averaging 37-39° C (98-102° F).
The Blue Lagoon started as a pool of wastewater from the Svartsengi geothermal plant in 1976. The first person to bathe here was Valur Margeirsson in 1981. He was met with some resistance prior to taking the first dip as people thought he was mad for wanting to bath in a "blue mud pool". He and others soon began to notice the unusual but remarkable healing qualities of the azure waters.
Those with conditions such as psoriasis found the waters immediately soothing for their condition. News quickly spread, and by 1987, the first swimming facilities were officially opened.
