This evening we were teaching a lady in the town of Hveragerði where an earthquake happened last May. When we go into a home we take our shoes off and as I stepped out of my shoes on to a very warm spot I thought they had heated floors and commented about the nice warm floor and was told yes we have a hot pot under the floor. Yes the floor is warmed by a geothermal hot pot under their floor that came about after the earthquake. To give you an idea of what that would be like note the attached videos. Luckily the building is well enough constructed neither the water nor the smell come through the floor. The other pictures just show you how nice it is here in Iceland in the winter. The video and pictures were all taken in Hveragerði on Saturday January 10, 2009. The sun was coming out for the first time in many days and it was time for a nice walk.
