    Gunnuhver Geothermal Area

    GrindavíkIceland18th century–present

    Gunnuhver is a roaring geothermal hot spring complex on the southwestern tip of Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula, famous for its mud pools, steaming fumaroles, and fierce ghost legend. Named after an 18th-century female specter named Guðrún Önundardóttir, or Gunna, the site is widely considered one of Iceland's most intense paranormal locations. According to centuries-old folklore, Gunna's malevolent spirit was bound to the boiling geothermal vents by a clever local priest, and her restless wrath continues to echo through the sulfurous steam.
