Yup.
12 Tonar for all your record needs. Islenski Barinn for delicious food including fermented shark. Also on the menu is reindeer, whale and guillemot. The shark is disgusting but worth doing. Guillemot is rather nice. Cathedral is good. Loads of shops on the walk up to it. Lift up to the top of the tower to see the view. Great Viking Museum near the old parliament square. A penis museum. An Icelandic punk museum. Plus loads of other places to eat and drink. All bars do a happy hour.
As far as tours go...Golden Circle tour is good. You see the geysers, a huge waterfall at Gullfoss plus you get to see where the 2 tectonic plates are separating at Thingvellir which is also full of Viking history. Northern lights tour takes you to a golf course in the dark where they give you hot chocolate for a few hours and then bring you back. Pot luck if you see it but your ticket is valid for a rerun on the next night if you don't catch a glimpse.
I doubt the Blue Lagoon is open.
It's cold. But thermals and a few layers/ coat should sort you out.

Don’t be fooled by people telling you it’s cold. It’s boiling this time of year so shorts and T-shirt are a must.
Nah, they just spout off a lot.

Make sure you take plenty of money - one of the most expensive countries I've ever visited
