Two of our favourite Iceland swimming places
By Tessa Bunney on 24 August 2011Thanks to Iceland’s abundance of geothermal heat, swimming is a national institution. Nearly every city and village has at least one public swimming pool with sauna and hot tubs.

Fantastic location for a thermal pool, surrounded by mountains and sea.
New feature on tidal swimming pools
By Tessa Bunney on 4 August 2011My feature on tidal swimming pools will be published this Saturday 6th August in The Financial Times Weekend Magazine.
