The Glacier Lagoon at Jokulsarlon is a very special place - it is where the mighty Vatnajökull glacier dips into the Atlantic. The landscape of smaller or bigger icebergs that broke into the water from the glacier and slowly drift towards the ocean is amazing. You can actually pick up. little boulders of ice that have been washed onto the shore. This must rank with the ten or twelve most awesome natural sites that I have seen..... and it's worth the long drive from Reykjavik to see.

In Langisandur beach you can bathe in the ocean and enjoy the view over Faxabay in warm water in Guðlaug which is open all year round. Guðlaug or God´s pool, in direct translate, is a hot pool located in the breakwater of Langisandur. If you want to experience something new, then come and visit Guðlaug.

At Langisandur beach next to the stadium there is a two-story hot pool with a view on the bay. Water from Deildartunguhver hotspring is used to warm up Akranes swimming pool. Since it is a blue flagged beach you can take a swim in the ocean like the (braver) locals do, which I highly recommend. Then you climb in the 40 degree warm pool mingle with the locals or let your children have fun in the narrow second pool. Then dive back in into the ocean and back into the pool and repeat. There are changing rooms provided and toilets are there, too. I think it even might be possible to rent bathing clothes and towels. Using the pools and the ocean is free, and authentic, and a lot of fun. Opening hours weekdays 6-21 and 9-18 on weekends, open all year around. GPS POINTS N64° 19' 6.629" W22° 3' 28.815"

Very diverse area in the north of Iceland. You can easily spend aroun 3 days here going to the different sights around the lake, the lagoon for a swim, whale watching in Husavik and other sights in the area.

One of our favourite spots in the south, Kleifarvatn lake is incredibly beatiful. We prefer it in early spring, when there isn't any green around, while probably it's at its worst in winter.

Ljotipollur is a explosion crater lake in the south highlands, situated in the southernmost crater in the Veidivotn fissure system. Strangely enough, Ljotipollur's name means 'Ugly Puddle', since this crater anything but, being beautifully red with the deep trout-filled lake at its bottom and high edges on its sides.
