New data from geothermal wells in Iceland have permitted empirical calibration of the chalcedony and Na / K geothermometers in the range of 25-180°C and 25-250°C respectively. The temperature functions are: Concentrations are expressed in ppm. These temperature functions correspond well with the chalcedony solubility data of (1973) and the thermodynamic data for low-albite/microcline/solution equilibria of (1969). A new CO 2 geothermometer is proposed which is considered to be useful in estimating underground temperatures in fumarolic geothermal fields. Its application involves analysis of CO 2 concentrations in the fumarole steam. The temperature function which applies in the range 180-300°C is: logCO 2 = 37.43 + 73192/ T - 11829· 10 3 / T 2 + 0.18923 T - 86.187· log T where T is in °K and CO 2 in moles per kg of steam.
