Creature From the Blue Lagoon

Applying silica-rich mud at the Blue Lagoon

What can you do with 30 hours without sleep? Pack, clean house, harvest your garden (not Farmville), fly to Iceland, bathe in geothermally heated salt water (Blue Lagoon), visit a scary life-like wax museum of Iceland’s first settlers (bad ass killing Vikings), buy a suitcase full of wool, and cap the marathon off with a tasty meal.

The first 30 hours of our honeymoon have been deliriously good. The delirious half is due to sleep deprivation and the good part we credit to the beauty of Iceland’s Blue Lagoon soaking our airplane blahs away. The lagoon is the byproduct of a geothermal power plant sitting amidst a craggy lava field which straddles the Europe and North America tectonic plates.

The Vikings may not have been able to grow much on Iceland’s moonlike landscape, but they were certainly on to something when it comes to all the natural hot tubs.

    • Thank you! We love the feedback. I’m reading a book now “In Siberia” that you might enjoy if you’d like a descriptive account of Siberia.
