I highly recommend going outside the city because it’s a beautiful geological wonder of a country, but I put a list up on my profile of things to do in downtown. Having a hard time copying the link here though - sorry!

Look into half day Golden Circle tours that would be your best bet. U may have time to check out Reykjavik & maybe hit a local pool. Look into storing ur bags at the airport. Also factor in u can make more $ not more time?

well it cost like 600 bucks for 2...it is not what i call value for money. unfortunately i probably will just stay at the airport with thise icelandic prices)) haha))

It's definitely not worth it. Do one of the half day tours or go walk around the city and hit a public pool. They are cheap and pretty sweet.
