Our first field trip out of Reyjkavik was to see some of the many geothermal areas that supply hot water to make electric power and bring warm water into about 99% of Iceland's communities. It's amazing to see miles of pipe running from natural hot springs bringing boiling hot water into homes and outdoor swimming pools for the use of the people. I'm told the energy provided this way is very inexpensive. They have an unlimited supply throughout the island of Iceland.
Hubby Rick would love this. We go once in a while to homes in our area that are being built with the use of geothermal stuff to heat them.
ReplyDeleteCool... or is that 'Warm'!
That must have been amazing, Lin. These are incredible images.
ReplyDeleteWow ...this is amazing.We too have a many hot springs in our state ,they are believed to have medicinal properties.
ReplyDeleteThey were really something, weren't they? It's wild to see all of the pipes running around but it sure works. At least there is hot water everywhere as far as I could tell.
