Answer
Iceland lies on the Mid-Oceanic Ridge, a region with high volcanic activity. Due to this, the heat beneath the Earth’s crust is intense. When groundwater seeps deep into the Earth, it gets heated by this underground heat and rises back to the surface as a hot spring.
People bathe in hot springs because the warm water is rich in minerals like sulphur, which are believed to have healing properties, especially for skin conditions and other health benefits.
