| Geothermal energy plants at ingvellir provide power for many of Iceland's residents and industries. Geothermal plants convert steam from the country's many hot springs into electricity and also use it to heat water, which is then piped to homes and factories. Reykjavík, the capital, which is situated 40 km (25 mi) southwest of ingvellir, is heated entirely by geothermal steam. | ||||||
