The entire Reykjanes Peninsula is a hotbed of geothermal activity and home to a number of volcanoes. As a result, two power plants have been stationed there to harness this clean energy: Svartsengi, whose runoff creates the famous Blue Lagoon, and the Reykjanes Power Plant (completed in 2012) .
Note: At this time it is not possible to visit the Reykjanes Power Plant.
