It sounds like your mostly being facetious, but in the interest of historical accuracy: The Blue Lagoon started as just a runoff from the power plant, it's only later after the natives had been bathing there for free for a while for free that it turned commercial.
- idlewords 10y agoOn my visit there, the bus driver told us the local teens had been swimming in it and causing a nuisance, until someone had the bright idea to put a hotel next to it and make it a spa. It's proximity to the airport makes it especially attractive to tourists who want to soak for a few hours in the middle of a transatlantic flight. Go there if you can; it's fun!
- hugi 10y agoAs one of the teens that used to be a nuisance, I agree. The old lagoon had a certain magic to it, though. Even if you'd usually leave it both burnt from sudden surges of warm water and bloody from knife-sharp lava.
