What’s new in Iceland

COMPRISING natural pools and springs, an icy pool, heated walkway and a tranquillity room, the Krauma Nature Baths in Reykholt offers Icelandic relaxation. The pools, which are built from natural materials and free from chemicals, are sourced from the Deildartunguhver and Raudsgill springs. There are two steam baths, and for those who dare, an ice cold bath. The baths are just outside Reykjavik. www.krauma.is
