Iceland is well known for geothermal pools, likely the most touristy and famous is the Blue Lagoon.
My bestie and I, chilling out at the geothermal pool.
If you're looking into Iceland as a destination, I absolutely recommend Iceland Day Trips to help you plan the perfect stay! http://www.icelanddaytrips.com/

We got a little Iceland bonus when our flight was delayed on the way back from London, and we had to stay overnight in Reykjavik. Complete props to Icelandair, who dealt flawlessly with the delay, put us up in their hotel and fed us, gave us a cab to the hotel AND upgraded my friend and I into First Class on the way home!
A bonus of first class, which neither of us had ever flown before, is this fun little sack of freebies. And endless booze. Endless.
Oh, how the other half live.
