The famous geothermal hot spring in Iceland, Blue Lagoon (also known as Blue Lake), is located on the Reykjanes Peninsula. Formed by volcanic lava, the water temperature is around 37-39℃ and rich in minerals such as silicon and sulfur. Soaking in the hot springs allows one to not only admire the beauty of the aurora borealis, but also to treat skin conditions such as psoriasis. It is approximately 13 kilometers from Keflavík International Airport and only 39 kilometers from the capital city of Reykjavik.

The Pearl is a iconic building located on the Öskjuhlíð hill in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. It stands at a height of 25.7 meters. Originally designed by Ingimundur Sveinsson, it was renovated during the tenure of Davíð Oddsson, the mayor of Reykjavik, in 1991, adding a hemispherical glass dome. The first floor of The Pearl houses the Winter Garden, a 10,000 cubic meters exhibition hall that frequently hosts concerts. In addition, visitors can enjoy delicious food and drinks at the Pearl Restaurant or the Pearl Café, and ascend to the observation deck to admire the breathtaking views of Reykjavik. The observation deck has six panoramic telescopes and provides audio guides in five languages.
