You step off the minivan into highland air so cold it sharpens the senses; a narrow trail threads between basalt cliffs and moss-carpeted lava fields, and a glacier-fed stream dares you to cross it on stepping stones. The hike to the Húsafell Canyon Baths is short but cinematic — two hours that move from rocky canyon floor to a purpose-built geothermal pool with views of distant ice and tumbling water.
