Visit the Residence of a Great Literary Figure in Iceland

Reykholt is a town in Iceland known for its significant historical and cultural heritage, and it is also the former home of the great Icelandic literary figure Snorri Sturluson. The well-known figures of Odin, Thor, and Loki originated from his writings. At the Snorrastofa museum, you can learn more about Snorri Sturluson's life and his enduring works. Additionally, the Deildartunguhver hot spring in the Reykholt valley is Europe's fastest-flowing geothermal spring, with a flow rate of 180 liters per second. It not only provides a large amount of hot spring water but also supplies abundant geothermal energy. It's worth mentioning that Iceland's entire national power system is 100% powered by hydro and geothermal energy, making it the only country in the world to use a green and environmentally friendly energy system exclusively for its power supply.
