In this episode of Elizabeth Stanton's Great Big World, titled "Life in a Blue Lagoon," Elizabeth takes viewers on a journey to one of the most beautiful places on earth - the Blue Lagoon in Iceland. Located in a lava field in Grindavik, the Blue Lagoon is a geothermal spa that is known for its healing properties and stunning turquoise-blue water.
As Elizabeth arrives at the Blue Lagoon, she is greeted by a local guide who tells her about the history and geology of the area. She learns that the lagoon is actually man-made and was created in 1976 as a runoff from a nearby geothermal power plant. However, over time, the lagoon has become a popular destination for locals and tourists alike.
Elizabeth then dives into the Blue Lagoon and experiences the rejuvenating properties of the mineral-rich water. She also takes part in some of the spa treatments offered at the lagoon, including a silica mud mask that leaves her skin feeling soft and glowing.
As Elizabeth explores the Blue Lagoon, she also gets a chance to connect with some of the local wildlife.

She also takes a boat ride out to sea and encounters a group of playful dolphins.
