One of Iceland's most popular attractions, and it's little wonder as to why. The beautiful milky-blue water is unlike anything else found on earth and makes a stark contrast to the surrounding black lava fields and creeping grey moss. The water sits at 39°C (102°F) year-round, making it the perfect bathing temperature.
The lagoon is on the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwest Iceland, a region renowned for its barren landscapes and cone-shaped volcanoes.
It is only a 15-minute drive from the Keflavík International Airport and around a 30-minute drive from the capital city, Reykjavík. That makes it the perfect first stop when arriving in Iceland or the last stop before leaving the country.
