GeoSea Sea Baths in Húsavík on Iceland's north coast are one of the island's most dramatically sited thermal bathing facilities — three interconnected pools perched on a cliff jetty above the Skjálfandi bay, where naturally warm geothermal spring water drawn from beneath the sea floor is combined with seawater to create a mineral-rich bathing experience at temperatures of 38–40°C, while looking out across the bay to the snow-capped Kinnafjöll and Víknafjöll mountains beyond. Húsavík, the self-proclaimed Whale Capital of Iceland, offers the best whale watching in Europe from the bay below the sea baths — humpback whales, minke whales and occasional blue whales feed in the Skjálfandi bay in summer. The northern Iceland landscape of wide-open bays, arctic tern colonies and midnight sun gives GeoSea a quality of light and space unique among Icelandic thermal facilities. The town's extraordinary whaling history museum and the Húsavík Academic Centre for whale research complete the destination offer.
