natural spas
Geothermal bathing pools
Natural spas are locations where mineral-rich water emerges from the earth, often warm or hot from geothermal activity.
People visit them for relaxation and purported health benefits—soaking in waters believed to ease joint pain, skin conditions, or stress.
We stopped at the natural spas in Iceland.
The term distinguishes these geological features from commercial spa facilities.
