Iceland

Geysir in south Iceland is the most famous springs or geyser (the word is derived from this Icelandic spring) on this volcanic island. Iceland sits atop a huge 'plume' of magma stretching 100s of km below it towards the earth's core, in the mid-Atlantic Ridge rift zone. It ejects a water column to a height of about 180 feet.
This 'plume' makes Iceland richer in hot springs and geothermal activity than any other country on earth. Over 200 geothermal areas produce 800+ hot springs with an average water temperature of around 75C / 167F.
