英语听力：荒野求生:冰岛—8

You know, that’s kind of a manageable temperature. I’ve got to get in fast and if I don’t get these wet clothes off, my body will get into shock. In this wind, they should hopefully dry in maybe a couple of hours. But at least during that time I can lie in this hot pool and not freeze to death.

Thank god for the volcanoes.

Here in hot water you’ll quickly regain your body heat. Now it’s kind of almost like being at home, apart from being a bit muddier. After warming up and with my clothes nearly dry, it’s time to get going. Iceland has many geothemal areas and over 90 percent of homes are fueled by naturally heated water. This comes from underground rivers being heated by volcanic magma. I need to be a bit careful with where I’m treading here becaues what you often get are these soft areas of mud where actually the mud is at boiling point, you know, realling frothing away. And every year, there’d be several tourists who get stuck into this stuff and get really really badly burnt. A way to test the ground is to step really gingerly and just push with you boot to see whether the mud is soft or not. And also just to tap it as well because often it will feel like hollow. What I mean is that you got this crust over the top with the mud then boiling underneath here. and see? look at here. this is what I mean. You got a hole straight down. If I trod on that, this would probably give away. So we’ll step over this bit.
