Why Mývatn Nature Baths matters
Perched on a hill above Lake Mývatn, these baths use naturally heated water to fill a milky-blue lagoon. They are smaller and calmer than the Blue Lagoon, and you can soak while looking over steaming landscape. On clear winter nights, you might see the northern lights from the water.
Talking points
- The water is naturally heated and mineral-rich.
- It's quieter than the better-known lagoon.
- Northern lights are sometimes visible in winter.
