To the left is the slope with the hot springs. The part in the middle is saturated with the hot water and covered with Sphagnum papillo- sum, Polytrichum commune and Hydrocotyle. Deildatunguhver (Gronlund's Tunguhver) (Fig. 23) is situated north of the river and opposite to Kleppjarnsreykir. It is mentioned by Gronlund (1877, p. 349), who states that the surface temperature of the ground at the top of the hill was 23° R, and that there Polytrichum commune, Sphagnum cymbifolium, S. cuspida- tum and a Campylopus (C. flexuosus) not determined with cer- tainty grew in the warm ground. Deildatunguhver is one of the hot springs of Iceland which discharge the greatest amount of water, and consists of a row of holes at the foot of a hill 6—8 metres high, whence an enormous quantity of water and steam is ejected with a great noise. The masses of steam, which can be seen for miles, enshroud the surroundings of the spring with so dense a cloud that it is hardly possible to ap- proach without getting soaked through. Below the hill the water.
