Iceland's geothermal fields

Iceland's geothermal fields are areas where Earth's heat rises close to the surface, creating natural hot springs, geysers, and steam vents. Located on the country's volcanic activity zone, these fields provide a sustainable and renewable energy source by harnessing underground heat for electricity and heating. The geothermal energy is extracted through wells and used for residential heating and power generation, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. This natural resource is a key part of Iceland’s clean energy strategy, enabling environmentally friendly energy production and supporting its eco-conscious reputation.
