Wind Tunnel Mountain

These videos come from a very windy excursion I took with an Icelandic Geologist names Hersir. Hersir took me exploring for geothermal energy on the Reykjavik outskirts, which include hardened lava flows, desert moonscapes, verdant hills and valleys, and recent craters of hydrothermal explosions. We saw two geothermal power plants, including the plant now contentiously owned by Magma Energy (see my previous post).
