Icelandic Hot Springs Halal Travel Guide

Iceland is an island in the middle of Atlantic. It is located along the Mid-atlantic ridge and the youngest part of the ocean floor, where the Earth crust is being constantly produced by active volcanism. The sea floor is growing in both directions - west towards the North America, and east towards Europe. This unique geological setting makes Iceland rich in geothermal features - and thermal spas (Muslim Friendly) are among them.
