## Corrections to claims found elsewhere

- You cannot watch the northern lights from the Secret Lagoon: it closes in the evening, before the lights usually show (secretlagoon.is).
- The water is natural hot spring water, not treated with chemicals; the pool itself was built in 1891.
- Two private tours on this site (1096460, 640743) do not include the lagoon ticket; the bus tours listed do.
