Description: Gvendarlaug í Bjarnarfirði - This is a small constructed bathing pool called Gvendarlaug (Guðmundur's pool) in Bjarnarfjörður, the Westfjords, Iceland, that receives hot water from a hot spring nearby. It is probably medieval and is a protected archeological site. It is one of many pools, wells, etc. said to have been blessed by bishop Guðmundur the good (1160-1237). These sites were believed to have miraculous powers, as Guðmundur was a popular saint (never actually canonized though). Right below this pool, there is a modern swimming pool, that gets its water from the same source and is also called Gvendarlaug. --Akigka 23:55, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
