Blaa Ionid - Blue Lagoon

view map

This lagoon formed from the mineral salt-rich water from the steam vented to the surface in the middle of this massive lava field. Many people travel here from around the world, for the healing properites of this water. The steam you can see in the background is a geothermal plant which generates electricity and steam for the surrounding area.
