Geosea is a geothermal sea bathing facility perched on the basalt cliffs above the fishing harbour of Husavik in northern Iceland, where oligomineral geothermal seawater pumped from the Arctic ocean at therapeutic temperature offers an experience combining volcanic geothermal energy with the raw mineral freshness of the North Atlantic. Husavik is known worldwide as Iceland's whale watching capital, with daily boat excursions from the historic wooden harbour into Skjalfandi bay where humpback whales, minke whales, and blue whales congregate in summer in numbers unmatched elsewhere in Iceland. Soaking in the Geosea thermal pools on the clifftop while watching for whale spouts in the blue Arctic bay below, with the Drangajokull glacier glittering on the distant horizon, represents one of the most sublime combinations of geothermal bathing and Arctic wildlife experience available anywhere in the world.

Insider tip — Húsavík is the world capital of whale watching — the daily trips from the harbour spot humpback whales and blue whales in Skjálfandi fjord. Geosea offers a view over that same fjord from its warm Arctic pools.
