A large hot spring pool in the Geysir Geothermal Area. The name means King’s Spring, after King Christian IX who visited in 1874. Clear water at near boiling shows the heat beneath even when the surface is calm. 🌋

Such a nice hot spring with three small bathing areas, off the beaten path and very Icelandic in feel. Warm water, mossy stones, steam in the cold air, quiet and simple, incredible. Clean changing rooms and a welcoming reception, small and local, worth the detour. ♨️Kind of a hidden hot springs in Iceland.

The Blue Lagoon is one of Iceland’s most famous spots. With warm milky-blue water at around 37–39°C and dark rocks, this spot is perfect for relaxing. It’s more of a luxury spa than a wild hot spring, so expect crowds during high season and higher prices. Still it’s worth visiting at least once, especially if you go early in the day. They also give you a face mask (the silica mud mask leaves your skin feeling incredible).

This hot spring is a must visit, with steamy milky-blue water and amazing views of the mountains.

This modern spa is right on the lake, with natural steam baths, outdoor mineral pools, and a sauna. The water is natural, and the views are amazing.

These thermal baths are surrounded by nature. The facilities are clean and comfy, and they have a sauna and a cold plunge.

These natural pools are accessible after a short hike and offer clear waters perfect for swimming and snorkeling.
