The Blue Lagoon Work Link

As you approach the facility, steam rises in billowing white clouds from the earth, a visual reminder that you are standing on a porous crust sitting atop the Mid-Atlantic Rift. It is a landscape of dramatic contrasts: the stark, volcanic black earth, the lush green moss, and the piercing, milky blue of the water. It is this visual drama that makes the Blue Lagoon one of the most photographed places on the planet.

The iconic milky blue color is a result of the way the silica, algae, and sunlight interact. The water appears blue when it reflects the sky, but the microscopic silica particles scatter the light, giving the water its opaque, pastel aesthetic. It is a chemical composition so unique that it has been the subject of extensive scientific study for decades. The Blue Lagoon
