Hot Springs in Iceland. By Björn Hróarsson and Sigurður Svein Jónsson.
The book covers almost all of the country's larger and better-known hot springs and provides a good overview of all the main hot spring areas. It also explains the origin of geothermal energy and discusses its use. With color photographs, drawings, maps, poetry, folk tales and accessible text, the authors paint a picture of these peculiar phenomena in the country's nature.
The authors are both geologists by training. They have visited most of the country's hot spring areas to describe the most spectacular ones; most of the photographs in the book are also the result of those trips.
