Deception Island Hot Tub
Scientists, geologists, environmentalists and volcanologists may come for the other natural phenomena, but tourists come to swim in the Antarctic, at Pendulum Cove in water heated by an active volcano.

It's not real swimming, more like dipping into a narrow strip of shallow water along the beach, somewhere between blistering hot and frigid water. This is Deception Island's hot tub.
