Icelandic Hot Springs is a travel topic.
Iceland is an island in the middle of Atlantic. It is located along the Mid-atlantic ridge, the youngest part of the ocean floor, where the Earth crust is being constantly produced by active volcanism. The sea floor is growing in both directions - west towards the North America, and east towards Europe. This unique geological setting makes Iceland rich in geothermal features - and hot springs are among them.
