Landing in Iceland, many travelers feel like they have arrived on the surface of the moon or some other out-of-this world place. Steam whiffs out of cracks in the treeless basalt plain, and the air has a sulfuric tang. Iceland has volcanoes, glaciers, magnificent waterfalls and plenty of geysers. But the best and most-relaxing way to experience the island's geothermal activity might be at the
Blue Lagoon, where visitors can plunge into warm turquoise waters heated by the earth.
