Reykjavik aios boasts five huge outdoor swimming pools that saty open all year long,
Even in the worst winter weather. How can that happen? Well, Icelanders have learned to
make use of all the volcanic activit that created their island in the firat place and still rumbls
underneath their land to this day. They have put pipes bown to all that underround heat and
now use it for all sorts of things. All the homes in Raykjavik are heated by water run through
the hot rocks below the soil – and so are the swimming pools! Even in the dead of winter, the
pools are warm nad pleasant. You can swim and watch the snow coming down – it melts as
soon as it touché the warm fog about thee feet above the pool. It never reaches the
swimmers!
