Djúpavogskörin in Djúpivogur, on the East Fjords coast of Iceland, is a small community hot pot on the shores of the Hamarsfjörður fjord, where naturally warm geothermal water fills a modest outdoor pool with spectacular views across the fjord to the Berufjörður mountains and the constantly changing Arctic light that characterises this remote corner of eastern Iceland. Djúpivogur is a charming fishing village on the East Iceland coastline, home to the artist Sigurður Guðmundsson's famous 'Eggin í Gleðivík' (Eggs of Merry Bay) installation — 34 granite eggs representing the 34 bird species nesting on the Langanes Peninsula, displayed along the harbour. The hot pot's combination of naturally warm geothermal water and fjord panorama in one of Iceland's most artistically and naturally distinctive fishing communities makes Djúpavogskörin a quintessential Icelandic hot pot experience.
