“The Land of Fire and Ice:” Exploring the Wonders of Iceland

The Astonishing Geysers and Winter Baths

Despite the frosty conditions, Icelanders don’t let the winter chill dampen their spirits or their swimwear. Thanks to abundant geothermal hot springs, many Icelanders enjoy dips even when it’s snowing. The volcanic waters allow for year-round indulgence in nature’s hot tubs, no matter the outside temperature.

The country also has heated pools that maintain balmy temperatures of 86 degrees Fahrenheit or higher for people who enjoy a more regulated dip. Geothermal energy plays a big role in Iceland’s economy and is used to heat 90-percent of the houses in the country. The most popular geothermal pool for swimming is the Blue Lagoon, located in the Reykjanes Peninsula.
