Laugarvatn (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈlœyːɣarˌvahtn̥] ⓘ) is the name of a lake and a small town in the south of Iceland. The lake is smaller than the neighbouring Apavatn.

Tourism

Laugarvatn lies within the Golden Circle, a popular tourist route, and acts as a staging post. The town has a population of about 200,[1] and lies predominantly along the west side of the lake. The lake contains geothermal springs under its surface, making it a popular swimming spot with some warm patches along the shoreline year-round.
