This is how it could look
Cosy home technology scene: cross-section view of small animal house heated entirely by geothermal energy. House built directly over natural geothermal vent in volcanic rock. Shown in cross-section: below house, geothermal pipes going deep into volcanic rock, drawing heat from underground hot water. Heat distributed through house via underfloor heating visible in cut-away floor. Animal family — perhaps family of foxes — inside house, completely warm and cosy while outside volcanic landscape cold and dark. Family gathered in warm living room: one parent reading, children playing, pot on stove with something delicious steaming. On walls: simple diagram explaining geothermal heating.
