Deildartunguhver, Hot spring in Borgarbyggð, Iceland
The spring releases 180 liters of water per second at temperatures reaching 100 degrees Celsius, making it Europe's most powerful thermal source.
The spring has supplied thermal energy to local communities since the early 20th century through a 64-kilometer pipeline system to Akranes and Borgarnes.
The spring's natural energy supports local agriculture through greenhouse operations, enabling year-round vegetable production in Iceland's harsh climate.
Visitors can experience the spring's thermal waters at Krauma baths, where the 100-degree water mixes with glacier water for comfortable bathing temperatures.
The spring provides hot water for heating and daily use to residents within a 65-kilometer radius, including showers and household activities.
