Hveragerði is a town of 3,000 people in South Iceland. Hveragerði is uniquely located in a geothermally active area. Its name is derived from an Icelandic word for hot spring - hver.

Selfoss is the largest town in South Iceland. Although it sits by a beautiful spot by the Ölfusá river, it's too close to places like Þingvellir and Gullfoss and Geysir to be noticed, and too close to Reykjavík for most people to think of it as a place to stay the night.
