Geothermal Exhibition Tickets

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.
