Buying Bottled Water

Ask any Icelander what not to do in Iceland, and often this will be their first suggestion for tourists. Bottled water isn’t just discouraged in Iceland because of its enormous environmental impact ― it’s also wholly unnecessary.

Eleven percent of Iceland’s surface area is capped with glaciers, with much of the meltwater of these glaciers sinking into and filtering through the porous lava rock that covers the land. This emerges in thousands of pure-water springs all around the country.

Iceland is essentially leaking at its pores with fresh water. It also has an excellent natural infrastructure in pumping it up and distributing it across the nation. This means that what comes out of the faucet here is pretty much the same as what fills, say, the Silfra ravine. This spring has some of the cleanest and clearest water in the world. It has no chemicals added but is packed full of natural minerals.

Companies that sell bottled “Icelandic mineral water” usually have their labels written in English for a good reason. Icelanders are aware that the concept is a scam and that they’re using the same water that comes out of the taps. Just bring a reusable water bottle from home or reuse a soft-drink one, and you’ll find yourself saving a ton of money.

Always run the tap a little first, however, as the hot water is also pumped up and tastes a bit like sulfur. Although it's harmless, the flavor is unpleasantly eggy.
