Mind-Blowing Iceland Facts to Make You Fall in Love with the Country
Winter Swimming
Icelanders are resilient people who don’t let the winter chill dampen their spirits or their swimwear. Even though the temperatures can be quite cold, they continue to engage in aquatic adventures or having icecream. One of their favorite activities is “ísbíltúr” which is having the dessert while driving!
The abundance of geothermal hot springs is what allows Icelanders to enjoy dips even when it’s snowing. The volcanic waters maintain a balmy temperature, creating a warm oasis amid the cold snow. Icelanders can even visit the heated pools with temperatures of 86 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. No matter the outside temperature, they can always enjoy a dip in warm water.
