Krafla Power Station is the largest geothermal energy station run by Landsvirkjun and is s an interesting destination for travelers. Visitors get the opportunity to learn about electricity production from geothermal energy sources as well as the unique history of the stations development. During the construction of the station, major volcanic eruptions started only 2 kilometers away and posed a serious threat to its existence. Energy harnessing and volcanic eruptions therefore coexisted simultaneously.
