Was this a house or a hotel?

Obviously my comment's a bit torque-in-cheek, but I've never heard of fossil fuel heating in Iceland in residential dwellings outside af Grímsey, an island 40km off the coast.

There's fireplaces, but not for heating entire building, unless it's a small summer home or a cottage.

I'm sure there's exceptions, but what I was pointing out is that geothermal heating is universal enough that the implications of the hot water being out don't need to be explained.



This is a house, not a hotel. It's in Hornstrandir. (Coincidentally, I'm going to Grímsey this summer to shoot [with a camera!] puffins...)
