Krossneslaug
A geothermal pool on the black pebble beach at the northern tip of Strandir. Soaking in 38°C water with a view of the Arctic Ocean, it is considered one of Iceland's most beautiful pools.
Krossneslaug lies at the northernmost tip of the Strandir coast, about 3 km north of the village of Norðurfjörður. It was built on a black pebble beach in 1954. The water is about 38°C, and the Greenland Sea is right at the edge. Soaking under the midnight summer sun is especially dreamy. The pool is normally unattended. A coin or donation box sits at the entrance, and there are simple changing rooms. From Hólmavík it is about 100 km one way on gravel roads, taking over two hours. It is best combined with a visit to Djúpavík, or you can stay overnight in Norðurfjörður.
