    So I'm Icelandic and just wanted to add a few things from my experience as an Icelandic person. Most people I know regularly go to public swimming pools and most of them do get in the cold "buckets", I do every time I go but I keep my face and hands out of the water so I can stay in for a minute or few.
    yes we do sell water, but nobody but tourists buy them because you can get the exact same water from any sink.
    also if you go to a hot spring, don't drink the water it's full of dirt from the floor, other people and skin cells from other people and last but not least I cringed so hard when he went in the waterfall because that's how tourists die in Iceland.

      The clean spring water anyone can drink , as they are doing in the video, and the water with bubble and little teast of lemon f.ex. is popular to buy . Not just the tourist buy water in a bottle also Icelanders when they go to the airport or on a flight. But the big water bottles for homeuse we dont sell. But you can also take a empty bottle with you to airport and fill it up an the bathroom, that is how good the water is. Many swimming pools in Iceland now have a cold tub. Cold therapy is a fast-growing popular activity in Iceland and is thought to be great for stress relief, to reduce inflammation in the body, relieve pain and be good for recovering after a physically challenging activity. A quick dip in the 15°c or even colder water for about 10-30 seconds can be revitalizing. Cold therapy is not suitable for people with heart complications and you should never enter a cold pot when feeling cold! Steam baths are also a part of many of Iceland's swimming pools, enjoy the cleansing hot steam during your visit to the pool.

    Bathing in cold water is amazing. I've used a sauna my whole life, and love it, but 2-3 years ago I started swimming in the ocean all year long. It begun when I was diagnosed with clinical stess, since I had heard it could have positive effect on people with depression, I thought I would give it a shot, since stress and depression has some overlapping symptoms. It was very effective to me, because of the adrenaline/dopamine kick and the mometary 'stop' of my racing mind. I begun doing it almost every day while I was on a sick leave, and continued as I gradually came back to work. I still do it once in a while, not because I have stress anymore, but because it makes me happy and refreshed.

    It’s been about a month now and I’ve been taking cold showers every morning. Yes the science behind this is great but what I found that is also rewarding is that I am less reliant on a system that isn’t sustainable. Meaning, I can take a shower anywhere I want with any type of water I want at any time I want. That type of self reliance makes me feel really strong. And the euphoric happy feeling is a weird thing I get halfway into the shower. It may be the placebo but I can attest it’s there.

      Placebo is real. Something having a placebo effect only means that the cause behind the final result is your own body and not the external agent. It doesn't mean there isn't an end resulting effect. I find people sometimes confuse that, and take away some of the power of placebo. It rocks.

    I've been watching you since your time at Vox. I really like your down to earth, open minded way of exploring things with sincerity. I'm from Iceland and living abroad and getting to know other cultures has really hammered it home how fortunate we Icelanders are. Poetic landscapes, beautiful and dreadful, a young piece of earth that feels ancient at the same time. Unforgiving weather, as nature in itself is. A land of big contrasts, fire and ice. The winters are beautiful sad and solemn, and the summers short and fleeting. I really think it has a tendency to produce good, grounded humans though there will always be unlucky people anywhere, those who struggle. Iceland is not utopia but it is a stern but loving mother to its inhabitants.

    I was fortunate enough to try this effect myself in the old public baths in Budapest! Getting into hot water feels good of course, but it doesn't even compare to the sensation of getting into freezing water, then getting into a hot pool right after. They had dual pools with steps between them for this purpose.

    So, just a little heads up on internal body temperature from a medical perspective. 5:35 +/- a few degrees isn't inherently lethal, what matters is whether or not that altered temperature is sustained long enough to induce damage at the cellular level, and the time to induce damage is inversely proportional to the difference in temperature between your current temperature and your body's homeostatic set point (typically 98.6 F, but this actually varies between persons based on a bell-curve distribution, and is also relative to time of day, age, metabolic rate, etc). On the hot side, very high temperatures can denature proteins within cells, but a raised temperature is actually beneficial in many cases of infection. This is because higher temperatures can reduce the replication rate of, say, viruses, buying your immune system time to fight the infection. Another way to think of it is that the infection doesn't make your body hot, your body makes your body hot to turn the tide in your favor. Unpleasantries like thick mucus and a painful cough are positives that keep new and existing viruses out. On the cold side, studies have been done to show that cooling the body way way down can buy medical workers time to treat and transport patients. What comes to mind are patients that have drowned in cold water and were revived long after thanks to careful, strategic re-warming and respiratory support.
