The Blue Lagoon is a large geothermal seawater pool set within a lava field on the Reykjanes Peninsula, best known for its milky, pale-blue water enriched with silica and minerals. Steam rises from the water year-round against the volcanic rock backdrop, creating photogenic contrasts particularly in cold weather. The facility is Iceland's most visited attraction and sits close to Keflavík International Airport.
