It Looks Like A Beautiful Spot To Take The Family… Til You Discover What’s In It. OMG.

This former rock quarry is known to locals as the Blue Lagoon. The water is crystal clear and from a distance, strikingly blue. But don't let its looks fool you. Because of the contents of the lake, the water in the Blue Lagoon is not pleasant at all. In fact, it's as toxic as bleach but it's still one of the most popular tourist destinations in the area.
