Reykjafjardarlaug is a small concrete swimming pool built in 1975 by local volunteers next to a natural hot spring on Route 63 in Reykjarfjörður, in the Westfjords. The maintained pool runs at roughly 32°C, while the untouched spring source nearby can reach 42–50°C. There is no staff, ticket booth, or shower facility — visitors leave a donation in an on-site box — and the site sits within pristine fjord and mountain scenery near Bíldudalur.
The pool was built in 1975 by local volunteers, continuing a long Icelandic tradition of communities constructing simple bathing pools next to natural hot springs for public use. It remains unstaffed and donation-funded today.
