Bathing outside might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Iceland. Yet, it´s one of the country´s most enjoyable traditions. Regardless of the weather, geothermally heated pools and warm springs mean it is always a good time to take a plunge.

Swimmer, author and illustrator Rán Flygenring spent a summer travelling across Iceland, dipping into every pool, lagoon and natural puddle she could find - sketchbook in hand. This quirky little guide offers insights into Icelandic bathing culture: how to scrub and shower; when to bring a towel (and when not to); what to wear; and where to go. Through her mosaic of quick sketches, Rán gives us a sneak peek into what it feels like, sketching and bathing.
