We stopped for a soak in mineral-rich waters at the Blue Lagoon before returning home from Iceland. Thermal waters beneath the volcanic lava are a main power source for Iceland and, when all is said and done, The Blue Lagoon is the product of business, not nature. The blue waters are leftovers spewed from a nearby power plant onto a desert of lava. Inspired by the spas at Baden-Baden in Germany, a couple businessmen developed the thermal lagoon after watching locals dip into its warmth. They sanded down a lava rock basin to avoid lava cuts on feet and pooled the water for bodily pleasures.
We boarded our plane in a relaxed state.
