Vök Baths in Egilsstadir, East Iceland, is one of Iceland's most innovative and visually striking geothermal bathing experiences, featuring floating pools built directly on the surface of Lake Urridavatn — a small lake heated by geothermal springs that make its waters naturally warm year-round — where bathers float suspended between the volcanic sky and the lake's mirror surface in a landscape of extraordinary East Icelandic solitude. The bicarbonate-enriched geothermal lake waters here allow bathers to float in a unique setting where the boundary between hot spring and natural lake dissolves entirely, the surrounding East Icelandic wilderness of lava fields, birch forests, and the distant glacier of Vatnajokull creating an atmosphere of immense natural scale. These floating pools represent one of the most original concepts in geothermal bathing design, drawing on East Iceland's combination of geothermal activity and natural lake resources to create an experience available nowhere else on Earth.
