The North Atlantic Ocean is home to the most sparsely populated country in Europe, Iceland. Often called the Land of Ice and Fire, this Nordic island boasts pristine natural beauty shaped over thousands of years by glaciers and volcanoes. A keystone of Icelandic culture is environmental conservation. Throughout the country there are geothermal power plants producing energy in harmony with the environment around them. Even traditional breads are cooked beneath the soil using the heat in the ground. This makes Iceland one of the most wondrous places from which to explore energy studies, climate change, and sustainability.
Opportunities to learn the ins and outs of geothermal energy abound in Iceland. Starting just outside the capital, Perlan is one of the most iconic buildings in Iceland. It consists of a huge glass dome that rests on top of six district heating tanks, each of which can hold about 4 million liters of geothermal water. The frame, which is hollow inside, is Perlan’s furnace system. On cold winter days, hot water flows through the steel frame, switching to cold water on hot summer days. A guided tour is a must.
