Study visit for participants.
The tour starts at Reykjavik Natura hotel. We gather around 9 o‘clock and hop on a bus which will drive us around for approximately four hours.
Nautholsvik
We will make the first stop on the geothermal man-made beach Nautholsvik, close by Natura. It was opened in 2001 and was an ambitious but very successful project, involving the construction of a lagoon with large seawalls, where cold sea and hot geothermal water fuse together resulting in higher temperatures.
Visit to a sports club
Geothermal water is used to heat various sports facilities around the city and keep them snow free. We will drive from Nautholsvik to one of the sports clubs in Reykjavik and get acquainted with the facility, the setup and everyday management.
90% of Iceland’s homes use hot water to heat up their houses, pavements, and car parks but the hot water is also the key to our outdoor swimming pools which are run the year-round all over the country.
Visit to Hellisheidarvirkjun
To explore where all this heat comes from we will head out for around 20-30 minutes’ drive outside of Reykjavik to the east to visit Hellisheidi power plant, the third largest geothermal power station in the world. It allows us to examine Iceland‘s geothermal energy utilization in a clear and illuminating fashion.
The tour ends at Perlan
From Hellisheidi power plant we will head back to town and end the tour in Perlan museum. In Perlan we will finally cool down from all the heat and roam about a 100 meters long man-made Ice Cave which is the first of its kind in the world. It is built with over 350 tons of snow from the Blue Mountains. As we will wander through the Ice Cave, we will experience a glacial environment in a safe and informative way
