• Kleifarvatn

  The picturesque lake Kleifarvatn is fed by underwater springs and often  changes its water level. In this area there is the distinctive pillow  lava.

• Krýsúvík -Seltún

  Sulfur was mined in Krýsúvík in the past and there are numerous hot  springs and solfatars (boiling mud springs). Krýsúvík is located in a  tectonically very active area and the frequent earthquakes repeatedly  lead to hot springs drying up and new ones emerging. Scientists are  convinced that the Reykjanes peninsula will permanently separate from  Iceland and form an island.

• Brimketill

  Erosion created a natural ‘pool’ right in the cliffs by the sea.  According to legend, the giant Oddný regularly bathed in this pool. From  a platform you have a beautiful view of Brimketill. You cannot swim in  this ‘pool’. If there are strong waves, a visit is unfortunately not  possible for safety reasons.

• Gunnuhver

  Gunnuhver is a large solfatare which, according to legend, got its name  around 400 years ago after a female spirit who had caused trouble for a  long time got caught in a trap and fell into the spring.

• Reykjanesvíti

  The Reykjanesvíti lighthouse on the southwest corner of the peninsula is  a prominent landmark. Directly on the coast there is a bizarre rocky  landscape with cliffs that are full of bird life. A bronze sculpture by  Todd Mc Grain commemorates the last two great auks that were killed in  1844, making this bird species extinct. From here you have a view of the  tuff rock Karl and the island of Eldey (Fire Island), which is home to  one of the world’s largest gannet colonies.

• Bridge between continents

  The Eurasian and American tectonic plates are drifting further and  further apart and Iceland lies exactly on this seam. A bridge was built  over a gorge created by continental drift on which you can easily walk  from Europe to America and back.

• Garður

  The small town of Garður (approx. 1,500 inhabitants) is located at the  northwestern tip of the peninsula and has two lighthouses. The large  lighthouse still shows ships the way to Reykjavík, while the small  lighthouse is disused and now houses a small café. You can observe many  species of seabirds and, with a bit of luck, even marvel at whales off  the coast.
