The Grapevine's take

Earth Lagoon

Earth Lagoon is a smaller, quieter version of the Blue Lagoon, with silky white water that seems to coat your skin with geothermal goodness. It’s a bit more expensive than your average municipal pool, but it’s an experience that’s worth it, and it makes for a scenic and relaxing final stop after a drive around Mývatn or the Diamond Circle.

On The Reykjavík Grapevine's Best of list. See the whole list.
