Iceland Day 3-Blue Lagoon

On our last full day in Iceland we decided to relax our sore shoulders and backs (a reasonable price to pay for our horseride yesterday) in one of Iceland's most famous landmarks...the Blue Lagoon. You know how in most countries when there is accident involving a power plant people die and dangerous chemicals are leaked into communities? Well, in Iceland when there is a power plant accident you end up with a phenomenal health spa. I guess when you're power source is hot water, that makes sense. The Blue Lagoon is just that...a beautiful lagoon of milky blue water surrounded by other-wordly lava rocks full of minerals that are great for your skin. There's nothing better on a cold Icelandic spring day than to sit in 102 degree water that nourishes your skin and your mental health. It was the perfect way to spend the end of our trip around the North Atlantic islands before heading home to the states tomorrow.


Riley just outside the lagoon you swim in...taking in the highly unique surroundings.
It's a lagoon...what's not for a frog to love?

The water color was phenomenal!
Cold...right before we hopped in.

God I'm so buff.
A lagoon cave
I'm not sure if Riley actually meant to get his toes in this picture or not.


Lava rocks covered in silica...they were as smooth as polished marble in places.

Really freakin' cold

Relaxing in a way you can only do in high salt content water.

I love how you can see the transition from just lava rock to lava rock covered in silica.
