The planned reservoir and power plant on the highlands of Iceland will be the energy providers of an aluminium factory that is being built in the small town of Reydarfjördur on the island’s east coast by the American Alcoa Corporation.
The power plant will produce 4.5 billion kilowatt hours of electricity per year – more than half of the amount of electricity that is being produced in Iceland today.
In the course of this, 57 square kilometres of a wilderness area will be flooded. Iceland’s glaciers, one of them being Vatnajökull, the largest glacier in Europe, supply water to rivers and numerous waterfalls that flow through deep gorges and uninhabited wilderness, and form a magnificent
landscape.

Since September 2006, the Cañon – the Kárahnjúkar Gorge – is blocked by an 198 metre high concrete dam. Waterfalls, fens and moorlands, valleys and small gorges have already disappeared in the floods. At this point, the water level is approximately 620 metres high.

“Documentation” and “Earth Print”.

I want to thank everyone who has supported me my project.
