Iceland is a hot spot of geothermal activity. Thirty post-glacial volcanoes have erupted in the past two centuries, and natural hot water supplies much of the population with cheap, pollution-free heating. Rivers, too, are harnessed to provide inexpensive hydroelectric power. Iceland's population numbers just over a quarter of a million, half living in the capital, Reykjavik, and its neighboring towns in the southwest. Keflavik International Airport is located about 50km from the capital. The highland interior is uninhabited (and uninhabitable), and most of the population is situated along the coast.

It is comprised of a sandy bottom, lovely milky-blue-green water and silica mud. In addition to bathing in the lagoon, guests can relax in a lava cave or a unique geothermal steam bath.
