The Blue Lagoon was created by accident a few years ago, where the run-off water from a geothermal power station collected into a lake. The water itself contains very high proportions of various minerals - particularly silica - and is reported to be excellent for your skin. The weather on the day was very poor, which made the exceptionally hot and soothing waters even nicer.
