But the new man-made lagoon, which has been designed by hospitality company Pursuit, promises to be something special.
Expected to open to the public in spring 2021, Sky Lagoon will be located in Kársnes Harbour, Kópavogur, just outside Reykjavik, and according to the firm behind it, will offer spectacular sunsets. It will also be a great spot for seeing the Northern Lights.
Sounds pretty good, right?
Expanding on the project, Dagny Petursdottir, general manager of Sky Lagoon, said it will be the perfect place for visitors to relax and unwind.

The exciting announcement comes after Iceland became the first European country to relaunch tourism following the coronavirus lockdown.
Thordis Kolbrun Reykfjord Gylfadottir, Minister for Tourism, added: "When travellers return to Iceland we want to have all mechanisms in place to safeguard them and the progress made in controlling the pandemic.

"Iceland's strategy of large-scale testing, tracing and isolating have proven effective so far.
"We want to build on that experience of creating a safe place for those who want a change of scenery after what has been a tough spring for all of us."
According to Insider, around 38 percent of Iceland's population have downloaded the country's Covid-19 tracing app, Rakning C-19.

The Icelandic government has said travellers to the country will likely be required to download and use the official app, which has been developed with privacy measures - with location data only stored locally on the user's device, unless it has to be released for tracing purposes after an infection is confirmed.
