About
Hveravellir is a geothermal swimming pool in the Icelandic Highlands.
Hveravellir is a geothermal field of the Oddnýjarhnjúkur-Langjökull volcanic system -Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈlauŋkˌjœːkʏtl̥] in the north of the Langjökull glacier.
The mineral-rich water has its own smell - earthy, sulfurous. You get used to it. Then you start to love it.
Geothermal activity has heated these waters for centuries. Icelanders have been bathing in natural hot springs since the settlement age.
The sulfur smell is normal. Your clothes will smell like it afterwards. Pack accordingly.
