Iceland Puts the Steam in Steampunk

While Iceland might not be the first place one thinks of relating to steampunk, I have found plenty of steam--if not much punk--while traveling there during the past few days. In fact, steam quite literally spews out of the ground, where, in many cases, it's harnessed into some very futuristic-looking geothermal power plants.

A natuarally occuring steam vent.
The pipes arch directly over the road.
The steam pipes stretch out over quite a large space, reaching as far as neighboring valleys.
The treeless landscape and futuristic power plant create a lunar-colony-esque effect.
