Hi there as an indigenous person our nation hold legends of the northern lights for centuries, some of us believe we came from the stars and when we die our spirts dance in the sky as northern lights. Because of this belief it is high recommended you do not film the northern lights as it is seen as incredibly disrespectful towards the culture and community. If you do end up doing because you don’t care please at least have an indigenous person explain the importance and significance of the lights in your video to at least educate others within your platform. @safiya plsssss read this!!!

This is such a coincidence! I'm writing a term paper on geothermal resources and how humans use them. I had to mention the blue lagoon in it. Fun fact about sulfur: it is proven to help treat skin diseases like eczema and psoriasis. I referenced a couple of medical journals for it. Iceland sits on top of the Mid Atlantic ridge (a divergent plate boundary) which is what causes all of the geothermal activity. There's all this magma rising up from beneath the crust to create more. The magma reacts with the water and Chemical reactions happen. One of which is the precipitation of sulfur

I'm 48 and Icelandic, from Reykjavik. When I was a kid, probably around 10 or so, so around 1985, the blue lagoon was pretty new. I developed some skin condition on the soles of my feet and was "prescribed" by my family physician to go bathe in the lagoon as the benefit for Psoriasis patients had already been established. At the time, the lagoon was right next to the Svartsengi power plant and not so far away from it as it is now. The changing room facilities was a literal shed with 3 showers and hangers for 10-15 people or so. This place has come a long way since then. Now I don't recommend anybody to go there as it's pricey as hell for going to a geothermal pool in Iceland. Reykjavik alone has 16 such pools to visit, all of them with a selection of hot tubs and even saunas as well. Price of entry there: 1/10th of the Blue Lagoon cost. Safiya and Tyler, if you ever make it back to Iceland I'd love to take you around and show you some nice sights...

It is very expensive and touristy, but the public pools are sooo nice, way more accessible, and where you get to meet people who actually live there.

FYI the conditioner isn't for the salt, it's for the silica - that's what messes your hair up. It's the same stuff they put in those little desiccant packages in new things and it's very good at absorbing moisture which makes your hair kind of dry and easily tangled.

I went to the Blue Lagoon with my parents in the summer of 2010 and I don't think they told us back then to put loads of conditioner in our hair, nor that we should put it up... We couldn't get our hair un-tangled for two weeks afterwards but I think it was worth it :)

I'm not sure how different the experiences would be, but if you ever need another hot bath in Iceland, there's that.

After watching this I feel like I would just go to the Silica Lagoon and be happy since it wasn’t crowded at all and you still get a cool lagoon experience.

Glad you enjoyed it! Im an icelander! The stuff on the bottom in the Silica hotel lagoon used to be all over the main lagoon years ago. It is the same stuff as the complimentary silica mask and the main lagoon used to have like afew giant buckets here and there, way before the mask bar came to be

Safiya has a wonderful way of making everything interesting and calming.

My favorite thing about your channel is that rather than posting weekly, you post interesting adventures like the spa, underwater hotel, Colonial Williamsburg, the Vegas series, and so forth. Very, very cool!

When I get my doctorate done, I’m gonna buy my parents a trip to this place. Looks so lovely and perfect for an anniversary!!

I always forget how beautiful the blue lagoon is it is so breathtaking

First of all, I NEED to go. Second, because of this video I went to their retail wrbsite and bought a fortune's worth of their face masks. You can literally see how much you skin was lglowing, Saf. Can't wait to use them! Iceland looks MAGICAL.

It’s wild that it’s only a few months later and the whole town is evacuated due to the volcanic/seismic threat. The website for this lagoon says “temporarily closed” now. 😢

@@brittanyhyatt3407 it did erupt on Dec 18th just to the east of the spa. There were no casualties and the volcano is not erupting at this time. The spa is closed for now and I think they are reevaluating when to open back up. The website gives all the info you need to know 👍🏼. It is unlikely that the town will ever be back to what it was though. The fissures and seismic activity really messed it up.

Imagine going on vacay and being able to write the whole thing off cuz it’s your job. Absolutely love it for you guys! Definitely my favorite couple ❤

The hot springs out here in Oregon are fantastic and vary in size/scenery for anyone not able to get Iceland. Sometimes I need to remind myself that there are really great things in these bonkers times. If you are reading this, there's an ol gal in the PNW who wishes you safety & contentment out there 🌎

I really enjoy how safyia always explains everything so well while having the time of her life in her videos 💚 Safyia’s videos are always wonderful

So volcanic, it's about to erupt :( Been there two or three times. I hope it doesn't get destroyed...

Interesting timing for me to stumble upon this one with that whole area currently evacuated due to a possible eruption event.

Not that long ago, people could dig up the silica masks from the bottom of the Blue Lagoon, then they started offering them in buckets by the perimeters for free. Today it's significantly more fancy and everything costs extra!

Yes. When I was there about 15 years ago the whole spa was waaaay less fancy. I would even say it was in dire need of a renovation. It had public swimming pool vibes. But you could just take the clay from the bottom of the lagoon and put on your face. I wish that they had told us about the hair back then. I didn’t know and ended up with the driest hair you can imagine 😅 Even though it’s expensive I would love to visit the lagoon (and Iceland ) again. I Love Icelandic horses 😍

We did both the Blue Lagoon and the Sky Lagoon and really enjoyed both but enjoyed the Sky Lagoon a lot more overall. The views, the offerings, and the overall vibes (especially at sunset) was such a lovely way to end a day.

I also went to both Blue and Sky when I visited in early March 2023. I enjoyed finding the water ejection ports at Blue where the really hot water gets pumped in, but it was a little unfortunate to need to stay mindful of the silica and my hair. Sky had a MUCH cooler view, and was still pretty hot (not AS potentially hot as Blue, though), but be mindful that there are no windbreaks due to being open at the western (ocean-facing) end. It was windy, cold, and a little snowy that day, which froze my hair like a helmet on my head. However, it also made the experience quite interesting, and I could dunk under the water to thaw my face and hair. I also ran into some Scots and Brits between both places, so it was a good opportunity to get some inside info for my UK trip I hope to take in the future.

Safiya tasting things that should not be eaten never disappoints 😂

I love you guys and your channel so much, your videos are so comforting on bad days when my anxiety gets to me or even just rewatching while relaxing after work. My absolute favorite thing about all of your videos is the look on Tyler’s face after he makes Saf laugh, it’s the most wholesome thing ever. You two are such an adorable couple and I wish you many many more years of happiness and laughter. Thank you guys so much ❤️

It’s always a good day when saf uploads

I always watch KZread while in the bath with a sulfur mask so I was truly there with you and wow what an experience! My one wish is that you included costs of the trip because I too am a bath queen who enjoys the full spa experience!

I remember going to the pre-touristy blue lagoon with my grandma, you had a much smaller house and way less fancy (basically not fancy at all) to change clothes in, lots of jagged rocks and the water temperature was very random depending on where you went, so a lot more natural than it is now, it was a lot of fun. :)

An underwater massage sounds like pure heaven. The blue lagoon is now on my bucket list just for that.

I think part of it is how clearly she pronounces words. I hardly have to put effort towards understanding to her dialogue, so I can watch the visuals instead of subtitles and get the full experience of the video, more like people without auditory processing and attention issues can. Of course her fun subject matter and the snappy editing helps a lot too!

it's rare to see videos on Finland, let alone such a massive KZreadr! when I tell you I got so excited!!!! notifications now on!!! 🇫🇮

I LOVE this. I've wanted to go to the Blue Lagoon for years, I've seen quite a few videos of it but this is by far my favorite. The structure of your videos is so palatable, it makes a 30 minute video seem like it's 5 and somehow leaves me satisfied but also wanting more. I've been subbed for many years and I've always enjoyed your content but these last few vids have been top tier. Very well done.

I've been really missing Iceland lately. I'm born and raised American but my amma (grandmother) and her whole side of the family is Icelandic, so I grew up visiting there often. Seeing y'all visit even for a quick trip lifted my spirits so much (amusing pronunciations of Icelandic words helped too lmaooo)! I hope you're able to go back another time and really explore the country for a lengthier visit, it's so incredibly lovely.

i simply love safiya and tyler’s videos so much. there is so much thought and consideration that goes into every one and they’re just so enjoyable. cannot wait for the rest of this series!

NO WAAYYY AM I JUST SEEING THIS NOW! I just came back from Iceland today, and I went to the Blue Lagoon literally a few days ago! It was amazing
