The Troll and Jotun hot springs at Svalbard are the most northerly hot springs to be found on land anywhere on earth. The hot springs are produced by geothermally heated water emerging from deep within the earth’s crust. The Jotun hot springs record a temperature of 24.5C and the Troll is even hotter at 28.3C. Hot springs are popular places for bathing and the high levels of minerals are said to have healing properties.
