Impact of Test Drilling at Krafla
At Krafla and Þeistareykir test drilling is ongoing to prospect boreholes for the Alcoa smelter that is being planned at Bakki. At Krafla,
drilling has started right into the Viti Vulcano. At Þeistareykir a
large arsenic/sulphur lagoon has been accidentally created by the drilling. If these projects are allowed to continue, we will see
large scale destruction of the landscape and biota as can currently be seen at Hengill.
