The exhibition offers visitors an insight into renewable energy production and how it is used. We also look into the future and at the possibility of harnessing power from Geothermal, Wind and Sea sources. Our aim is to educate and entertain our guests, and to share knowledge about different energy sources and their effects on the community, economy and environment.
Búrfell Station is open during summer 2010 from 10 am. – 6 pm. until August 31. After September 1 the exhibition is open by appointment only. Please call us at +354 515 9000 to arrange your visit.

How do I get there? 
Two routes lead to these stations: either from North Iceland via the highland road across Sprengisandur, or from the lowlands of South Iceland, through Árnessýsla county. East of Selfoss in the South, turn off Ring Road 1 onto Road 30 towards Flúðir, and then onto Road 32, the Árnes road, which runs up Þjórsárdalur valley towards Sprengisandur. This will lead you past all of the power stations associated with the Þjórsá and Tungnaá rivers.
