Svartsengi, Iceland. Just beyond the waters of Blue Lagoon steam and smoke bellow from the Svartsengi Geothermal Power Station that lies above a fault line that contributes to the production of cheap green power and hot water. Five geothermal plants provide one quarter of the nation's electricity. The Blue Lagoon is one of Iceland's main tourist attractions. It is the premier geothermal spa in the nation and is set among extensive lava rock formations. The high mineral content water provides a stark contrast to the desolate lava rock plains that surround it.
