**A little story from me, and why I think this video is brilliant for teaching kids about renewable energy and sustainability! ** Back in 2018 I visited Laugarvatn Spa to do some filming with the BBC Earth RUclips channel. Whilst I was there, I saw some of the staff baking delicious, sweet rye bread in one of their geothermal hot springs, and I found the whole process fascinating! I love it when seemingly ordinary things (like bread) are made in extraordinary ways. Especially if that way of making something is surprising and sustainable! I find processes like this a brilliant way to talk to young people about sustainability. Bread is something we all recognise, but this method of baking is weird and unusual to us. Yet, we can learn SO much about renewable energy and sustainability by being curious and finding out more. 'Geothermal Bread' became one of the stories that inspired me to write my first book 'STUFF', a collection of stories about the way everyday things can be made in exciting, eco-friendly ways! I really hope you enjoy the video and show it to the little ones in your life. It's such a fun way to get kids talking about making, renewable energy and the joy of travel!
A joy to watch the video. Learned a few things about geysers and Maddie looked like a little kid, just having fun. Her face filled with a constant smile. So cool that places like Iceland exist on earth!
Hi Maddie! I'm American, and I just love the way you pronounce "geyser"! Over here, a "geezer" is something completely different! It's American slang for an old person, usually a man, as in "that old geezer!" When you first said it, I was surprised because I didn't see any old people around! 🤣
Great video! I got the impression there was a community who baked and shared the hot springs? Do they rotate and just leave one and pick up the next..? If so, love that 👌🏽
That's my understanding too! They are mostly used by the spa, but locals can and do also use them. There is a list which keeps track of who is using which spring :-)
Hi Maddie! I LOVE your videos and you're my biggest inspiration! I was wondering if you would be able to travel to more places from your book Stuff? Sorry if I'm being a bit demanding😔. I hope you understand 😊. Thank you. Love from Mia ❤
I love this video a lot! I learned quite a bit! In fact, my class mate was doing a report on Iceland and suggested for him to bring this as an extra credit project😂 lol Love your work Maddie!

We have the same slang in the UK haha. It's just one of those words that gets pronounced differently depending on where you live.
LOVE your energy! Way to make bread exciting! :D Cool video!
Thank you!
She's quite chill.
Love it! Aoife and Niamh from Yorkshire now want to visit Iceland to have a go themselves! 😊
What a perfect trip!
@maddiemoate It certainly would be! They want to visit Svalbard in Norway too! We've got some travelling to do! 😍
“The locals will say ‘There’s someone new baking’” 😂🤣😂
Loved this! It's so interesting! I couldn't stop watching! 😊

'mind over matter'
Has Siggi ever returned to find that someone has "stollen" his loaf...sorry for the pun. But I'm genuinely curious if he's experienced loaf theft?
Very good! I didn't ask, but Iceland is such a safe country. I doubt this would happen unless it was by mistake!?
