KMT in the News
Industry publication ThinkGeoEnergy covers a significant milestone for KMT — the securing of key funding and institutional support, marking an important step forward in establishing the world’s first magma observatory at Krafla.
BBC News reports on KMT’s extraordinary ambition to drill directly into a magma chamber beneath the Krafla caldera — and what it could mean for our understanding of volcanic systems and the future of geothermal power.
CNN takes an in-depth look at Iceland’s volcanic landscape and the pioneering science behind KMT — exploring how drilling near magma could unlock a new era of clean, scalable geothermal energy for the world.
