ICELAND’S GEOTHERMAL POWER

  • geysir
    Iceland is hot - both as a tourist destination, and underground, where all the geothermal action is. Iceland sits on the geologically active Mid-Atlantic Ridge (where the North American continental plate pulls away from the Eurasian continental plate), and since the beginning of its history has seen more than its fair share of crazy volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. The upside of all this geothermal activity shaking up Iceland is a cheap, efficient and clean energy source for its inhabitants.
