hot water too
The Washington Post Magazine
March 6, 2005
IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO OVERSTATE the significance of hot water in Iceland. The entire nation runs on clean geothermal heat, drawn from deep underground.... such a connection to water may help explain why Icelanders are quite simply in love with their swimming pools. There are 126 public pools in a nation of 290,000 people. To put that in perspective, New York City has 68 public swimming pools for its 8 million residents.
