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.

However, over time, the lagoon has become a popular destination for locals and tourists alike.
