Where is the water source?
The Århus Spring in Iceland, where the Icelandic Glacial is sourced, is one of the largest natural hot springs in the world, with over 900,000 cubic metres of water spilling into the ocean every day, constantly replenished as rain and snow gradually filters through the uninhabited, untouched lava fields.
