Overview

  • Discover how the violent geological forces of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge have been tamed to create one of the world's most unique urban lifestyles. On this immersive walking tour, you will trace the invisible geothermal veins pumping beneath Reykjavik's streets. From snow-melting pavements to geothermally heated bird habitats, and from the architectural constraints of subterranean pipes to the radically democratic culture of the Icelandic hot tub, you will never look at a city's infrastructure the same way again. Join an urban planner and a local geothermal expert as they debate, uncover, and experience the thermal heartbeat of the world's northernmost capital.
