How to Locate a Hot Spring
Hot springs are natural springs that produce warm water. Most of the time, the water is warmer than 98 degrees Fahrenheit. The warmth of the spring is created by geothermal activity, or natural heat emanating from the earth. That's why you'll mostly find hot springs in areas where young volcanoes are located. There are thousands of hot springs located all over the world, so there might be one near you.
