Comment

[edit]

I've moved the following edit to this talk page because I don't see what it has to do the Blue Lagoon:

There are many geothermal pools throughout Iceland. However, they are not for the shy! One of the pools is for nude bathing only and special consideration is made for hygiene prior to entering the pools. Bathers are required to take a naked shower before entering the pools. Amusingly, some of the pools have diagrams in the changing rooms to show you which areas to clean thoroughly while showering!

Are you sure the rules are one of the strictest in the world? The requirement to shower before bathing in a swimming pool etc are present in other countries also. When I was in Mallorca, Spain, they also required a bathing cap when swimming in a public swimming pool. Such a requirement I haven't seen in Blue Lagoon when I was there, nor in Sweden where I live, where shower is also needed before swimming. In Sweden there are signs showing areas of the body needing careful cleaning. -- BIL 23:59, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]


they only stress the bathing and provide instructions on account of the europeans (especially the roma, the french, the italians, greek etc.). if you're an american, all you need to do is flash your passport and they'll wave you through. i thought it was funny, because as soon as i was in there i released my bowells.


I have also visited the Blue Lagoon earlier this year, they are not extremely strict with the rules, they reccommend you bathe before entering - I didn't take a shower, just changed & went in, they also dont force you to wear bathing caps, so there is alot if hair on the base of the lagoon which is pretty discusting (62.77.169.42 (talk) 14:40, 5 June 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Are you serious? You don't shower, but still you're complaining about some hair?? ROFL. --178.197.233.109 (talk) 12:52, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I work there and we do STRONGLY recomend showering before entrance to the pool. Sometimes there is an employee in the shower room who is going to remind you to do so. And if you go in any swimming pool in Iceland they will insist that you take a shower nude! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Carrimani (talk • contribs) 14:03, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

question from a prospective tourist

[edit]

Are there areas set aside for nude bathing at Blue Lagoon, or not? It would not be surprising, since nude bathing is common in Nordic countries, but I haven't heard it said specifically of Blue Lagoon. I'm not trying to be difficult, it's a fairly obvious question.

I was there today. Didn't see any such area. Also, it would be hard to set aside any area, since the place is very open. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.176.149.73 (talk) 18:14, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]


I work there. There are no such areas. M

I am going on a school trip there and our teacher says we have to shower nude. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.173.2.129 (talk) 21:07, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Presence of algae

[edit]

The article is highly inconsistent, even contradictory, as concerns the presence of algae in the water. The situation is variously described as:

"Very few organisms live in the water .. apart from some blue-green algae."

".. rich in blue-green algae."

(So is it 'very few but some' or 'rich' in algae?)

And most confusingly:

".. (contains) no plants."

(Algae are plants.) Drlegendre (talk) 14:34, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unsurprisingly, closed again

[edit]

The "closed on $DATE" and "reopened on $DATE" items are getting repetitive. A single paragraph stating that the ongoing Sundhnúkur eruptions have caused temporary closures several times and are expected to continue to do so ought to be enough. Bo Lindbergh (talk) 13:34, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
