Seljavallalaug
About
Seljavallalaug is a geothermal swimming pool in Iceland's South Coast.
A geothermal hot spring in South Iceland. Natural heat from the earth creates a unique bathing experience.
The mineral-rich water has its own smell - earthy, sulfurous. You get used to it. Then you start to love it.
Geothermal activity has heated these waters for centuries. Icelanders have been bathing in natural hot springs since the settlement age.
The sulfur smell is normal. Your clothes will smell like it afterwards. Pack accordingly.
