Дагинские термальные источники, Natural monument and thermal springs in Nogliki District, Russia
Dagi thermal springs is a protected natural site with roughly 60 pools scattered across coastal land, each fed by natural hot water emerging from the ground. The landscape is flat and forested, with pools arranged in clusters that visitors can walk between on simple paths.
The springs were first documented by scientists in 1926, though local communities had known of them much earlier. Official protection as a natural monument came in 1987, marking a shift toward conservation.
The hot springs have long been known to Orochi reindeer herders as healing waters, and their presence shaped how different communities used this land. Today, the separate bathing zones reflect this layered history of local use.
The site is accessible by walking paths that connect the pool clusters, making it easy to move around. Basic facilities like changing areas and rest spots are distributed across the land so visitors can take breaks comfortably.
The mineral composition here sets these springs apart, as the water carries silicic acid, iodine, and bromine dissolved from deep geological layers. This unusual blend of elements is what makes bathing here distinct from other thermal sites.
