A place that I’ve always had the desire to visit is Iceland. From all the
pictures I’ve seen and everything I’ve heard about the country makes me so
intrigued and interested in exploring their culture and attractions. Since I
visit my relatives in France every summer, my goal in the next couple of years
is to fly from France to Iceland and spend about week there. The flight time
between Reyjavik, Iceland and Paris, France is about three and a half hours
which considerably speaking is not too bad. While in Iceland there are many
destinations I would love to see, but I have had this have growing urge to see
the Blue Lagoon for a long time. I have heard so much about it but I really
want to experience it for myself…and relax there of course.
The Blue Lagoon was formed after the establishment of a geothermal power plant extremely close to the lagoon. People started bathing in that lagoon and started noticing that the effects of the water were making significantly great effects on their skin. After that, the first official public bathing facility was opened and centers for psoriasis patients were created. Since then, the Blue Lagoon has been innovating the experience and creating more skin care options. Blue Lagoon has become one of the biggest attractions in Iceland and is widely spoken about. I think it’s so cool how a lagoon near a power plant has resulted in one of the most relaxing sites in the world. The pictures I’ve seen of it are absolutely stunning and I’m just really curious as to how the water actually feels. I know for sure I’ll highly enjoy the leisure attractions found here, as well as educating myself more on the fascination of the lagoon.

It's not every day that a power plant has positive effects on the people around it, but it's very interesting to see here! Great post, as ever, and another place I can dream of some day visiting....
