Story & Folklore

Nesjavellir is one of Iceland's largest geothermal power stations, located near Þingvellir in the heart of a volcanic rift zone. The plant produces both electricity (120 MW) and hot water (1,800 litres per second at 83°C) for the Greater Reykjavík area. Guided tours allow visitors to see the drilling operations, turbine halls and the dramatic landscape of steam columns rising from the hillside. The surrounding area has interesting geothermal surface features including bubbling mud pools and fumaroles.
