KMT

KMT is an extraordinary scientific endeavour to establish the world´s first magma centre - an international, open access research facility with in-situ access to a magma chamber for advanced understanding and experiments concerning magma dynamics, extreme geothermal energy, and volcanic risks... At the Krafla Magma Testbed (KMT), we're turning "what ifs" into "whens". With cutting-edge science, international collaboration, and unwavering determination, KMT is unlocking the Earth's hidden treasures, revolutionizing energy possibilities, and redefining the boundaries of exploration... KMT provides the perfect opportunity for innovation by developing and testing new technologies, methods, materials and instruments. This new technology frontier will allow us to improve magma-monitoring techniques for volcanology, harness magma heat in volcanic provinces worldwide, and advance geothermal engineering in superhot ( 900°C) environments.
