Facts About Hot Springs in Iceland

It’s easy to look at pictures of the icy, frozen grounds of a country aptly named Iceland and wonder how a place like that can be associated with hot springs, but the hot springs in Iceland are a thing of natural beauty. They are a result of geothermal activity including sub-zero weather and volcanic activities that create lakes, waterfalls, and hot springs that can be experienced all year round regardless of season and weather. 

Geothermal water powers much of Iceland’s daily life. It’s used to heat homes, generate electricity through geothermal steam, and harness energy from glacial rivers. The hot water in Icelandic households also comes directly from this natural resource, making it an indispensable part of life in Iceland.

Reykjavík is home to no less than 17 heated swimming pools with water sourced from natural geothermal springs, with many more of such pools spread around the country. For those who are looking for a more natural body of water to kick their heels up, Iceland’s natural hot springs are the go-to destinations to enjoy a warm dip in the waters. However, these natural springs can be quite difficult to reach; often located in difficult-to-navigate mountainous areas that require hiking, while others are able to be accessed by car.

The serene, skin-safe waters of Iceland’s hot springs are the main attraction for visitors. However, not all hot springs are suitable for a relaxing dip—some feature bubbling mud pits, spouting geysers, and boiling fumaroles that are best admired from a safe distance.
