A geothermal lagoon in north-east Iceland, open since 2004 and renamed Earth Lagoon, where water drawn from up to 2,500 metres reaches the lagoon at 36 to 40 °C.

About

Earth Lagoon Mývatn, until recently Mývatn Nature Baths, is a geothermal lagoon in Þingeyjarsveit in north-east Iceland, opened in 2004 and renamed by its operator. It is the quieter northern counterpart to the lagoons of the south-west.

The water

The water is drawn from depths of up to 2,500 metres and reaches the lagoon at 36 to 40 °C. The venue describes it as alkaline and low in bacteria, and says it may support skin health.

The lagoon and steam bath

Bathing is in the lagoon itself, with a hot tub alongside. The steam bath is a swim-in cave where steam rises through natural geothermal vents, at an average of 45 °C and full humidity.

Eating and services

Swim-up bars serve alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks in the water, and the Earth Lagoon Bistro is on site. Massages are booked for 30 or 60 minutes.

Visiting

The lagoon is open daily from 10:00 to 23:00, though the venue notes hours vary by season; an earlier schedule gave 12:00 to 22:00. The pools are outdoors and the site has step-free access.
