In a magnificent black lava field, the milky-teal Blue Lagoon Spa is fed water from from the futuristic Svartsengi geothermal plant. The super-heated water (70% sea water, 30% fresh water) is a perfect 38 degrees Celcius (100.4 degrees Fahrenheit) and rich in blue-green algae, mineral salts, and fine silica mud. The spa facilities are around the bend in the trail.

Oddly, there was ice on the water surface. I just had to put my hand in the water which was, in fact, as warm as bath water.
