Þeistareykir

Þeistareykir
The volcanic system of Þeistareykir has a large and colourful high temperature geothermal field situated at the foot of table mountain Bæjarfjall. Geothermic drilling since 2007 has created the overflow lake in the photo. Iceland's national power company Landsvirkjun has started operating their new geothermal power plant (see note) which provides energy for the new silica plant near Husavík. grapevine.is/news/2018/04/18/new-silica-factory-opens-for-business-in-husavik-north-iceland

Das Þeistareykir- Vulkansystem hat ein ausgedehntes und farbenfrohes Hochtemperaturgebiet zu Füßen des Tafelbergs Bæjarfjall. Der See im Foto entstand 2007 durch geothermische Bohrungen und wird langsam größer. Im Frühjahr 2018 hat die staatliche isländische Energiegesellschaft Landsvirkjun den 2. Block ihres geothermischen Kraftwerks in Betrieb genommen (s.PiP). Es versorgt die ebenfalls neue Siliziumfabrik in Húsavík mit Energie.
Diese ist laut den deutschen Betreibern angeblich ganz sauber....

Thanks a lot, George! Iceland uses lots of geothermal energy - they even grow tomatoes and fruit that way;-)

Lovely contrasts in the landscape between the flat, colourful foreground and the monochrome hills in the background.
