Tourists’ Attitudes toward Power Plants and Infrastructure near Kárahnjúkar

In the summer of 2025, ITRC will conduct a survey on tourists’ attitudes toward power plants and other infrastructure in the area around Kárahnjúkar.

The aim of the survey is to shed light on visitors’ experience of the area and assess how man-made structures may affect that experience.

This project is a continuation of a similar survey carried out in the Blanda and Þjórsá areas in the summer of 2024.

The project is expected to conclude around the end of November or beginning of December.

The research is commissioned by Landsvirkjun (the National Power Company of Iceland). Data collection will be carried out by staff from Vatnajökull National Park and the project is managed on behalf of RMF by Eyrún Jenný Bjarnadóttir.
