BLUE LAGOON - ICELAND

If I ever find myself in Iceland, I have got to get to the Blue Lagoon. It's a man-made geothermic seawater pool that is located in Southwestern Iceland. The waters are rumored to have curative properties. Imagine spending a whole day in a hot tub (disregard the wrinkles that would occur)!

This would have to be a quick weekend trip (Samantha Brown status, in-and-out!) for me, but sounds amazing nevertheless. Water temperatures average around 104 degrees (F) year-round, even in freezing temperatures. The warm waters are rich in sulfur and silica, and apparently make your skin look and feel amazing. Some things to do while touring the Blue Lagoon? Swim in the lagoon (Obvi.), Put the silica mud all over your body for a spa-like experience, Relax and float weightless in the mineral waters, find a cave to explore, hang out under a waterfall, or just enjoy the busy steam baths.

I really found out about this location online a couple months ago from an insane picture on Conde Nast Traveler, and no wonder, the Blue Lagoon is the most photographed site in all of Iceland. The pools steamy look mysterious and inviting at the same time. Its gorgeous and one more stop on my imaginary world tour. Until tomorrow friends..!
