Nauteyrarlaug
Westfjords
Nauteyrarlaug is a small geothermal bathing site in the Westfjords near Ísafjarðardjúp. Access, water temperature and maintenance can change; confirm local conditions before bathing.
故事
On the shore of Ísafjarðardjúp, past the church at Nauteyri and a working salmon farm, a rock-and-stone pool holds geothermal water at a steady 40–42°C — big enough for a group, and usually empty but for the sound of the fjord. A small changing hut stands beside it, the only sign that anyone maintains the place at all. The water once ran straight from a borehole; today it arrives by pipe after a nearby fish farm redirected the source to its hatchery, yet visitors report it stays remarkably clear. Few tourists make the drive out here, which is exactly the point — Nauteyrarlaug rewards those willing to go well past Ísafjörður into one of the quieter corners of the Westfjords.
你知道吗？
The pool's water supply changed when a nearby fish farm redirected the original borehole source to its salmon hatchery — Nauteyrarlaug is now fed by pipe rather than running directly from the source, though visitors still describe the water as remarkably clear.
