Approaching Hvammsvík Hot Springs Area ~ 270 Mosfellsbær. Iceland

Hvammsvík Hot Springs' history spans over 1,000 years, from its 11th-century Viking settlement to its role as a crucial Allied naval base during World War II. During the war, the site was codenamed "Falcon Crest" and "Falcon Beach" to conceal its location, hosting nearly 40,000 soldiers and over 200 ships. Today, it operates as a family-owned resort that honors its past while offering a modern hot springs experience.
