Over 70% of Iceland's energy consumption is powered by geothermal energy - that's a higher percentage than anywhere else on the planet!

Take a tour of the Geothermal Exhibition at Hellisheiði (pronounced “het-li-shay-thee”) - the newest and biggest geothermal power plant in Iceland.

Enjoy a self-guided audio tour of the exhibition, which allows you to see into the turbine halls, look over the working areas from the observation decks, and explore the world of geothermal power.

Just 20 minutes from Reykjavik, the Hellisheiði is making use of Iceland's active volcanos to produce 303 MW of electricity! It's all sustainable too - that geothermal power is self-generating.

You'll learn how this 100% green and sustainable energy is produced. It's an eye-opening look at man harnessing mother nature.
