Geothermal bakery in Iceland

In his demonstration at Worldcanic, Sigurður Rafn Hilmarsson will explain how local people in Iceland have used geothermal activity over the years to cook and heat their homes. Over the years, he says, volcano craters around the Laugarvatn region have provided them with heat, allowed them to wash and bathe, and even bake bread.

At his Laugarvatn Fontana, Siggi - as he is known - teaches guests to experiment with geothermal breadmaking, and they can eat the bread afterwards with Icelandic butter.
