The Blue Lagoon and National Museum

8/24/16 - The Blue Lagoon, National Museum and Farewell Dinner

Reykjavik, home to more than 200,000 people (more than half the population of Iceland), means "smoky bay."  Iceland's first settler, Ingolfur Arnorson, built a farm there in AD 874,  in the midst of a lava field containing mineral-rich mud. Today this best-known geothermal pool, the Blue Lagoon, is the highlight of visitors to Iceland.
