The Reykjanes Peninsula, situated on the southwest corner of Iceland where both Keflavik International Airport and The Blue Lagoon are located, is slightly less explored than many other areas around Reykjavik but is an absolute gem. A private tour around the peninsula allows you to discover many of its hidden treasures, such as the boiling mud pools at the Seltún geothermal field, the Bridge Between Continents, and Lake Kleifarvatn. The Reykjanes Peninsula is a UNESCO Global Geopark.

The extraterrestrial landscape of the area was forged during periods of volcanic activity in the past, creating some unique geological features that give a very distinct feeling of being in a different world. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge runs along the length of the Atlantic Ocean right between Europe and North America, rising above sea level right here. Going out to Reykjanesviti Lighthouse, you can see the lava emerging from the surf, and it is easy to imagine the ocean floor beneath the waves looking pretty much the same, ravaged by the movement of the tectonic plates. The ridge system can be traced here along the low mountain range and long fissures cutting through the landscape, as well as craters scattered in the lava; fortunately, there have not been any eruptions here for over 700 years. There are a few geothermal areas on the peninsula, as well as a geothermal power plant where a lot of research is being done on the possibilities of harnessing and distributing geothermal energy. Out here, we can also find the Bridge Between Continents, a bridge built as a symbol of the connection between Europe and America.
