  • Varmaland (Icelandic pronunciation: ​[ˈvarmaˌlant], "warm land") is a village in , in the Borgarfjörður region of Iceland. Varmaland is known as an eco-friendly producer of various kinds of vegetables, plants and flowers. These are grown in green houses which make use of local renewable energy in the form of hot water generated from nearby geothermal sources in the form of springs and geysers.
