The Blue Lagoon
Perhaps one of the most famous tourist attractions, The Blue Lagoon is located in a lava field by Grindavík in southwestern Iceland. The water is supplied by the Svartsengi geothermal power station nearby. The reason why it is that beautiful blue color is because of the high silica content of the water, which forms soft white mud on the bottom of the lake.

Here is an example found at the first ever recorded geyser, which is located in southwestern Iceland, where you can also find exploding water spouts, mud pits that are boiling, and hot geysers that erupt.
