The Blue Lagoon is a steamy oasis—a sprawling hot-water playground for grown-ups. Chunky rocks disappear beneath the opaque water, where they’re coated with white silica slime. The naturally heated water is thoroughly relaxing. You’ll smear mineral deposits on your face while giggling at your fellow silica-masked bathers. Arguably Iceland’s most famous attraction, the Blue Lagoon is tucked into a jagged volcanic landscape in the middle of nowhere, about a 45-minute drive south of downtown Reykja

Simply put, Hagia Sophia in Istanbul is one of the most magnificent, influential, historic, and revered buildings on Earth. For centuries, it served as the greatest church in Christendom. It was home to the Byzantine Emperor and Orthodox Patriarch (the “eastern pope”), and a beacon of civilization during Western Europe’s so-called “dark ages.” When Muslims conquered Constantinople, this great church suddenly became one of the world’s greatest mosques. And when it was secularized in the 20th cent
