Europe's most powerful hot spring, Deildartunguhver produces enough geothermal energy to heat two nearby cities: Akranes and Borgarnes. Every second, 380 pints of boiling hot water churns through the spring. You have to see it in person in order to comprehend its power.
\nWhat may well be the oldest hot spring in Iceland was first mentioned in the writings of medieval Icelandic historian and poet Snorri Sturluson, who used to bathe here. The water is often far too hot for a dip, so visit the nearby Snorrastofa instead to learn about Sturluson himself.
