Discover the heat beneath your feet at Iceland's newest geothermal power plant
The Geothermal Exhibition at Hellisheiði power plant offers you a unique look inside Iceland's renewable energy revolution. Located just outside Selfoss, this working geothermal facility produces more of a nation's energy from geothermal sources than anywhere else on Earth. Your self-guided audio tour reveals how Iceland transforms underground heat into electricity and hot water for homes across the country.
You'll walk through turbine halls where powerful machinery converts steam into energy, observe intricate pipe systems and cooling towers against mountain backdrops, and learn about cutting-edge CO2 sequestration projects. Interactive displays explain the complete process from capturing underground steam to distributing power through local networks. The exhibition provides genuine insight into how sustainable energy shapes daily life in Iceland.
The exhibition opens daily from 9:00am to 5:00pm at Hellisheiðarvirkjun in Selfoss. Most visitors spend about one hour exploring the facility. The exhibition is fully wheelchair accessible, and facilities include an on-site café for refreshments after your tour.
You can arrive any time during opening hours with your mobile ticket for instant confirmation and smooth entry. The location at 801 Selfoss makes it easily accessible when exploring the Golden Circle region. Consider combining your visit with other popular attractions like Gullfoss waterfall tickets or Geysir geothermal area for a complete day discovering Iceland's natural wonders.
