About

Guðrúnarlaug is a geothermal swimming pool in West Iceland.

Guðrúnarlaug is a thermal bath in Iceland near Sælingsdalur in the municipality of Dalabyggð. The name stems from Guðrún Ósvífrsdóttir, who is a main character in Laxdæla saga.

Steam rises around you as you sink into naturally heated water. The contrast of warm water and cold air is pure Iceland.

Natural hot springs vary in temperature - some spots are scalding, others barely warm. Test with your hand first, always.
