Hvammsvík Hot Springs
About
Hvammsvík Hot Springs is a geothermal lagoon with a natural water temperature of about 10°C in West Iceland.
Hvammsvík Hot Springs is a geothermal lagoon on the Hvalfjörður shoreline in West Iceland. OpenStreetMap logs the spring water here at about 10°C at the source, and the on-site pools range up to about 42°C — so the temperature moves a lot between where the water surfaces and where you actually get in.
Steam rises around you as you sink into naturally heated water. The contrast of warm water and cold air is pure Iceland.
Natural hot springs vary in temperature - some spots are scalding, others barely warm. Test with your hand first, always.
