Winter accessible natural hot spring in Iceland near Reykjavik?
December 31, 2014 1:18 PM Subscribe
Non-mountaineer, non-young folk looking for a natural hot spring suitable for bathing within an hour or so of non-offroad driving from Reykjavik. The walk in from the road might be as much as an hour if it isn't a treacherous, hard-to-follow path. Accessible in January and February with estimates of it's sensitivity to unfavorable weather conditions. An opportunity for a tranquil and wild geothermal experience (ie: a civilized uncivilized experience).
There was good recent question on winter activities in Iceland, which unfortunately didn't touch on this aspect.

Response by poster: Thank-you for the great link (and the timeline jab) - - especially helpful from this article was the recommendation for what I suspect is the current definitive resource on the subject, the 2010 book Thermal Pools in Iceland.
