Abstract
The geothermal source has for a long time played an important role, not least in the Icelandic economy. In the early days it was used for bathing and washing, and later for heating homes and energy production. One of the best known geothermal phenomena in Iceland is the Blue Lagoon, on Reykjanes peninsula in the south west of Iceland. Swimming pools receiving warmth from geothermal resources are all around the country, in almost every community, used for teaching, and even serving as a meeting place for people to socialize.
