First powerstation in Reykjavik

Posted by The Thor in Photo

The ElliÃ°arÃ¡ station was opened in 1921 and at that time was enough to power the entire Capital, the consumption of electricity rose quite steadily so more power plants needed to be built to cover the increase in demand. Today the ElliÃ°arÃ¡r virkjun is still in operation but only delivers a limited amount of Reykjavik's needs. In the ElliÃ°arÃ¡r valley you can find a power museum, beautiful walk ways and you can even fish salmon. How many capitals have a salmon fishing river running through them?

I don't recommend eating anything you catch in the Thames or the Hudson but fish from here is quite good.
