With 180 liters per second of boiling hot water, the world’s most powerful hot spring, Deildartunguhver, does stick out in the West of Iceland.

The water is utilized for a spa called Krauma. As for other spa sites in Iceland, the location is easy to explain according to the forces underneath creating them.

I am a geologist, graduated from the University of Iceland, and taught geology for a few years. I have gained some knowledge about Earth's inner structure, so I provide this website as my contribution to answer one of the greatest questions remaining within the realm of geoscience. Experiments show that the mantle should form convection rolls when close to the melting point. I took this literally, and calculated the dimensions and shape of these mantle convection rolls. Then I compare that model with the surface. This makes it possible to provide many interesting examples about geology found on my blog.
