What you can experience here

Brimketill, a captivating lava pool on the rugged Atlantic coast, transports you into a world full of natural power and mysticism. The mighty waves pound relentlessly against the black lava shore, an impressive spectacle that reveals the raw beauty of the Icelandic landscape.

This natural masterpiece was created over centuries by the erosion of porous lava. It is said that the giantess Oddný once bathed at this spot, hence the mystical name Oddnýjarlaug. But don’t be tempted to step into the inviting water, as the unpredictable waves are dangerous. From a safe viewing platform you can enjoy this natural spectacle at a secure distance and experience the power of the elements up close.
