Natural geothermal water
The water supplies for the lagoon run straight from the National Power Company’s bore hole in Bjarnarflag. The water has a temperature of about 130°C when it gets there so before running into the lagoon it is cooled down in a so-called heat exchanger. The water then runs through a 1 km long underground pipe driven by steam power. Before it enters the lagoon it runs into a huge basin beside the lagoon itself forming an impressive, man-made hot spring.
Altogether, the lagoon and the basin contain around 3.5 million liters of water with a temperature of 36 – 40°C.
The lagoon itself is a man-made construction, its bottom is covered by sand and gravel.
