Iceland - The Blue Lagoon

Our plan today is the Blue Lagoon, the only place that I knew about Iceland years ago when I first saw the pictures of Iceland.

The Blue Lagogon pool inside the complex.



Around the building.

The origin of the seawater is from 2000 meters beneath the surface.In its travels through porous lava, a blend of sea and fresh water undergoes mineral exchange and then near the surface, concentration occurs, due to vaporization, evaporation and finally, sedimentation.


Lunch at the Northern Light Inn.


Iceland landscape, no big trees in the view.


Small beautitul Lake on the way to the next visit.


We then visit the Kleifarvatn Lake.


Kleifarvatn is the largest lake on the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland, situated in the southern part of the peninsula on the fissure zone of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. It is the third largest lake of southern Iceland. The lake's greatest depth is 97 m.
After the big earthquake in 2000, the lake began to diminish, and 20% of its surface has since disappeared. The cracks that opened up in the earthquake have since then slowly filled again and by 2008 the lake had regained its previous surface level.


Back to the city we visit some of the city landmarks.

Too bad that the church is in the reconstructing process.
Evangelical Lutheran Church of Iceland, is the state church in Iceland. Like the established churches in the other Nordic countries, the National Church of Iceland professes the LutheranChristianity. Its head is the Bishop of Iceland.

And that should be all for Iceland.
