About the experience<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGoing to Iceland to catch the northern lights? Why not add swimming to the to-do list? It\u2019s as Icelandic as it gets, for bathing outside in naturally heated water is part of Icelandic life.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tStart at Hveragerdi, just 42km from the capital, Reykjavik. The thermal bath here is Laugaskar, open through the year, and renowned for its lovely setting as well as excellent facilities. The pool is heated with steam coming directly from the ground and considered to be good for your health.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAbout 150km from Reykjavik is Seljavallalaug. The open air, geothermal pool is a 30 odd minute walk from the road and located next to a river. With a snow-capped glacier beyond, it is easily one of the most stunningly located swimming pools  on Earth.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIf you really want to pamper yourself, consider Blue Lagoon just 50km from Reykjavik in Grindavik. Named one of National Geographic\u2019s \u201c25 Wonders of the World,\u201d Blue Lagoon offers an exclusive range of products and services based on its geothermal seawater. Enjoy in-water spa treatments and massage or go for the Blue Lagoon skin care range.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
