Guardian: Thanks to its position on a volatile section of the Mid-Atlantic ridge, Iceland is a world leader in the the use of geothermal energy, and of the six geothermal power plants in Iceland, Hellisheii (pronounced het-li-shay-thee) is the newest and largest.

These so-called urban heat islands result from various factors, such as population density, surface sealing, thermal radiation of buildings, industry, and transport as well as lacking vegetation. This phenomenon affects the atmosphere, surface, and subsurface of modern cities. Temperature anomalies may contribute to regional air pollution and an increased mortality during hot spells in summer. Increased groundwater...
