I went to a different Iceland and soaked in a wild hot spring in Iceland

Have you ever been to a free hot spring? I soaked in a wild hot spring in Iceland! On the way to the town of Vik, you can stop by this wild hot spring, which was established in 1928. Search for Seljavallalaug Swimming Pool on the map and you'll find it. After turning off the main road, there is a parking area. Then you can proceed with your own towel and swimsuit. After about ten minutes, you can see the hot spring pool. The white house is the changing room, where you can only change clothes, not take a shower. There are hooks to hang your coat and backpack inside. When I went there, there were only about ten people soaking, including Americans, Australians, and people from other European countries. Very few people, we were the only Asians. The water in the hot spring pool is hotter than imagined, because it doesn't look very hot. Iceland is quite cold in summer. When you take your hand out to take a picture, you have to hand the camera to another person, and then hurry up and warm up in the water. This seems to be not natural hot spring water but heated haha, but it doesn't matter, there are many volcanoes in Iceland, and the mineral content of Icelandic water is very high. The pool has one side hotter and one side cooler. There is a lot of moss at the bottom of the pool, be careful not to slip. People who are obsessed with cleanliness may not dare to go in, because the water does not look clear. Soaking in a bath during a busy journey is quite comfortable. This is the first time I have soaked in such a wild hot spring, which relieves fatigue and continues on the road!
