Watch: Travel Vlogger Uses Iceland's Geothermal Pool To Boil Eggs, Leaves Internet Impressed

Visiting a geothermal pool – aka hot springs — is on every traveller's bucket list. And honestly, Iceland is the ultimate hotspot for it. From the dreamy Blue Lagoon to wild, hidden hot springs surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, Iceland feels like a fantasy come to life. Add in geysers, waterfalls, and dramatic black sand beaches, and you have a trip to remember. While most travellers seek adventure in Iceland, the idea of boiling an egg in a geothermal pool might sound unusual. But Korean travel vlogger Gloria recently put this idea to the test. In a video shared on Instagram, she documented her visit to Laugarvatn, a town famous for its geothermal activity. She highlighted how parts of the lake are filled with bubbling hot pools – so intense that they power local saunas and even bake bread in volcano-like mounds.

Gloria's thoughts? "If you can bake bread, why not boil an egg?" The vlogger grabbed some eggs, wandered along the shore and found the perfect bubbling puddle. She placed the eggs in, covered them with sand and waited. After eight minutes, she took out the eggs and they turned out perfect.
