3 Best Sights in North Iceland, Iceland

The north’s answer to the Blue Lagoon, the Mývatn Nature Baths contain a unique blend of minerals, silicates, and geothermal micro-organisms. Much paler (and less green) than its southern counterpart, this nature bath has lovely views over the lake that are especially enchanting at sunset. It’s a warm and wonderful place to relax, and if it gets too hot you can order an in-bath glass of cold beer.

This legendary bathing hot spot at the end of Route 748 was constructed with natural stone. The area has excellent views of Drangey Island and is a superb place to relax after a long hike while watching a sensational summer sunset. Changing facilities and showers are available for a small fee next to the pool. There’s also a campsite and a small café.
