A team of scientists have set their sights on a crazy goal: drilling straight into the magma chamber underneath an active volcano in Iceland to tap into virtually unlimited geothermal power. The effort is part of a grand plan called the Iceland Deep Drilling Project. Its participating scientists aren't just looking for thrills; they're on a mission to understand the physics deep within the Earth that could revolutionise our energy future. But this is no ordinary project; here in Iceland, discovery and danger go hand in hand. The potential rewards are huge, but so are the challenges they'll face.
Thank you to Gylfi from @JustIcelandic for the great aerial shots over Grindavik, subscribe to his channel for the latest updates on the eruptions in Iceland and buy him a coffee if you like it!
