Iceland is world?s largest green energy producer per capita, little over half of its natural resources being of geothermal origin. It owes this abundance of hot water to its position and high volcanic activity in the area; Due to the geological location of Iceland (over a rift in the American and European continental plates) there is a high concentration of volcanoes in the area and a high amount of geothermal activity. This is exhibited in a number of different forms such as geysers, boiling mud pots, sulphurous fumaroles and hot springs. This geothermal activity is being utilised in Iceland for power generation;
