Lagoon filled with icebergs that have fallen off the glacier.

Weather

So last night the road behind me was closed due to high winds, and the roads I'm planning on using today were closed due to snow.

Onwards through the snow

Myvatn nature baths

Much cheaper and probably quieter than blue lagoon, with a nice view over the lake too.
A nice relaxing soak with loads of couples hugging and taking pictures of each other, where's mine?
UrchinJoeI was here in winter 2008. The water temperature in the side pools was around a million degrees, and the air temperature was somewhere below absolute zero. Very good. Don't miss "Borg a Myram" on your way back to the capital.
ПутешественникAlex didn't go with me more than me going without Alex! Jose, water was nice and hot, outside temperature was only about -1C not -1K. What's in Borg a Myram?
