Abstract
The geothermal resources in Iceland are closely associated with the country’s volcanism, with the 26 high-temperature geothermal fields located within the active volcanic zone running from Southwest to Northeast, while the low temperature areas are mostly in the areas flanking the active zone. About 250 separate low temperature areas with over 600 hot springs have been located.
