Visit the Blue Lagoon

two passengers

Welcome to Iceland

Mm

Hi welcome to the blue lagoon

My name is Nicholas

We're actually celebrating our 30 year anniversary this year

The blue lagoon is a geothermal bath located in a

very large lava field

The water is heated by the lava about 2000 m

beneath the earth And when it comes up to the

surface it's an optimum bathing temperature

So you're looking at around 38°C at the moment that's

about 100 and five F in american

So super toasty

Well there's nowhere like it on earth

So the water is essentially pretty magical

Geothermal bathing is something that the Icelanders have been doing

here in Iceland for over 1000 years

We have the main mineral component in the water is

silica

So there are trillions of miniscule silica particles in the

water and these tiny white particles they did threaten sun's

light which is why it takes on this beautiful kind

of blue color

The silica is very special because we've been researching the

organic properties of lagoon over the last 30 years and

what we realized is the silica has a cleansing effect

on the skin

So by bathing in the water you're essentially having a

detox

There's also a micro algae that grows in the lagoon

as well

And we've researched this microalgae and this microalgae stimulates the

collagen in the skin

So it's actually anti aging When you bathe in the

blue lagoon

The idea is that when you leave you'll be 10

years younger

I'm bathing in there all the time

I'm 83 years old

So so there's so much else that kind of goes

goes on here in the blue lagoon

You know you have the option of having an in

water treatment a floating massage

We have flotation therapy we have the lava restaurant which

is a highly recommended restaurant and we also have the

retreat as well which is kind of hidden away where

you kind of undergo this kind of ritual which involves

all the organic components of the blue lagoons

You know you have the silicon mask use the algae

the lava scrub

There's a lot more that we have to offer in

terms of experience

I don't know there's something about Iceland I think intensive

community in Iceland everyone kind of looks after one another

I just enjoy the land the vistas

You know there's something kind of humbling about feeling relatively

insignificant compared to these huge mountains that we have to

offer

Absolutely stunning

And of course the lava field that you see before

you hear it was formed in 12 26

So what happened 800 years ago there was a big

volcanic eruption and it culminated in this giant lava field

that you see before you the Vikings were living here

when this eruption took place

They actually called this land which means evil lava absolutely

incredible landscapes and that's just when you first land in

Iceland there's a whole island to explore as well

So I love the place very beautiful

It's definitely worth the visit
