Legal context
Iceland has no specific law prohibiting public nudity. The General Penal Code No. 19 (1940) does not criminalise non-sexual nudity in appropriate contexts. Nudity is culturally embedded in bathing — all public swimming pools and geothermal spas require mandatory nude showering before entry, normalising non-sexual nudity from childhood. Public nudity on beaches and in nature is widely accepted.
