Iceland, a country known for its stunningly beautiful, almost barren landscape dotted with volcanoes, is fast becoming one of Europe’s most popular tourist destinations. And at the core of it is Grindavik’s famous Blue Lagoon.

Tourists here are enjoying what National Geographic calls one of the 25 wonders of the world. This is the Blue Lagoon, a geothermal spa located in the lava fields of Iceland. This is now one of the most famous attractions in a country not devoid of breathtaking scenery.

And with international tourism increasing in Iceland each year, the Blue Lagoon is reaching record numbers of visitors. In 2012, over five hundred and eighty five thousand people visited the Lagoon; a 27 percent increase compared to the previous year. This is a country with a population of just over three hundred and twenty thousand people.
