Krossnes is a geothermal hot spring pool located at a cape or headland in the remote Westfjords region of Iceland, where a small communal hot pot has been built into the rocky shoreline, offering bathers the extraordinary experience of soaking in naturally warm geothermal water while the waves of the North Atlantic break just metres away. The pool at Krossnes is accessible only by rough mountain roads through the Westfjords — one of Iceland's most isolated and majestic regions — making the journey to reach it part of the adventure. The combination of volcanic warmth and raw Atlantic seascape makes Krossnes one of Iceland's most memorable remote bathing experiences.

Insider tip — Krossnes sits at the far northwestern tip of Iceland's Westfjords, where a small geothermal pool perches directly above the shoreline. At high tide the Atlantic laps against the pool's edge, creating a dramatic contrast of cold salt water and warm volcanic spring. Visit at dusk when the midnight sun grazes the horizon and the remote fjord landscape glows amber around you.
