I am waiting to board a plane to Iceland, and frankly I’m a little disappointed that no one‘s dressed as a Viking in the waiting area.
Update: we landed in Iceland before breakfast and the first thing we did after we got off the plane was take a hike up a mountain to check out this volcano that’s newly active after 800 years. Incredible.
Also, check out the tires on this cool Mercedes in Iceland: I would love to see it drive on @EvilMopacATX
Art Deco hydropower in Iceland. Clean, renewable, beautiful electricity. Six 45 MW Francis turbines and penstocks buried in the mountain.
Just a few more shots of the hydroelectric facility.
The word geyser in English comes from this spot in Iceland.
It is fun to reconnect with a former @WebberEnergy student Binni Olafsson to tour Iceland’s sights including a geyser, Viking farm, hydroelectric plant and incredible waterfall.
I don’t want to make @TimMLatimer jealous but I got to visit an important geothermal combined heat and power plant today. Incredible.
A geothermal plant, a CO2 sequestration site, a transmission line with sheep, and wind/rain/fog. Iceland.
Just some other cool stuff in Iceland. I love this place.
