Geothermal Exhibition (audio guided)

The tour starts at the "Hellisheidavirkjun" Geothermal Exhibition. At the geothermal exhibition, you get to discover how Iceland uses geothermal power and renewable energy in a fun and interesting way. You can look inside the plant's turbine halls, check out hands-on and informative displays, and find out about our work with Carbfix, a project that helps store CO2. You'll see how we make electricity for the country and provide hot water for the area around the capital.

The exhibition is the first stop if you're heading south from Reykjavík, about 25 km away, on the way to Hveragerði, Selfoss, and the Golden Circle. Don't forget to bring your smartphone and headphones to make the most of the audio guide.
