That's not the one where they grow tomatoes and bananas, is it?
We visited that one in 1974.

Alien, definitely! Well, growing bananas (and other fruits) in Iceland is interesting and certainly needs some alien-style equipment!

Well done.

Eric, Francois, Paul - thank you.

Eric - this greenhouse in Grindavík is used to grow barley. See this link.  I suspect you may have gone to the greenhouses in Flúðir.

I wanted to get a higher view with the drone but it was very windy with a threat of imminent rain, and so I didn't want to risk it.

Rajan,

I think you are right about Flúðir.
Your Grindavik greenhouse looks very other-worldly.

Prefer the first. Looks less alien but the framing is very nice.
