ReykjavÃk’s Empty Pools: Video
Did you ever wonder what the swimming pools in ReykjavÃk look like these days, when closed? Steinar Þór Ólafsson, communications director, visited them recently to take a look.
All swimming pools in the capital are have remained closed since October 7, in an effort to contain the spread of COVID-19.
Steinar tells mbl.is the closure gave him reason to record the pools on video.
“For a very long time, I’ve wanted to do this,†he states. Normally, the Laugardalslaug pool is closed only one day a year, and you don’t want to bring a drone to a pool full of people. I saw this as an ideal opportunity to take a look at them.†Obtaining permission to film the pools proved easy, Steinar adds.

Could cold water hold a clue to a dementia cure?
Cold water swimming may protect the brain from degenerative diseases like dementia, researchers from Cambridge University have discovered.
In a world first, a “cold-shock” protein has been found in the blood of regular winter swimmers at London’s Parliament Hill Lido.
The protein has been shown to slow the onset of dementia and even repair some of the damage it causes in mice.
Prof Giovanna Mallucci, who runs the UK Dementia Research Institute’s Centre at the University of Cambridge, says the discovery could point researchers towards new drug treatments which may help hold dementia at bay.
The research – although promising – is at an early stage, but it centres on the hibernation ability that all mammals retain, which is prompted by exposure to cold.
