• Kleifarvatn Lake - Kleifarvatn is the largest lake on the Reykjanes Peninsula and is truly a sight to behold. The road that runs along the lake is one of the country’s most underrated tourist routes, closely following the lake’s shoreline. The towering mountains on the opposite side make the drive along the lake almost as enjoyable as stopping to admire it from various viewpoints.

Fun Fact: In 2000, Kleifarvatn lost 20% of its water when a fissure opened after an earthquake. The water drained into the nearby North Atlantic Ocean through a subterranean channel. It has since almost completely recovered.

• Krysuvik - Situated in the fissure zone between two tectonic plates running across Iceland is the expansive geothermal area of Krýsuvík. Within this area lies Seltún, a geothermal field where volcanic fumaroles, mud pots, and hot springs have formed. The geothermal activity results in a landscape seemingly painted in bright yellow, red, and green, due to sulfur interacting with other minerals in the soil.
• Nátthagi - Here, you will find the most recent lava fields created by the volcano at Fagradalsfjall. This is the youngest land in Iceland and can sometimes be alive with molten rock and lava.

For less experienced hikers, visiting Nátthagi Valley, which is being filled with lava from the eruption, is quite an experience. The hike into the valley takes around 20-30 minutes, is mostly flat, and is considered easy.

• Grindavik - Once a small fishing village, Grindavik is becoming a popular tourist destination in Iceland, not just because it is home to the nation’s most popular attraction, the volcano at Fagradalsfjall. Grindavik offers beautiful scenery with numerous hiking trails.
• Bridge Between Continents - A bridge connecting Europe and North America on the Reykjanes Peninsula. The lava-scarred Reykjanes Peninsula lies on one of the world’s major plate boundaries, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. According to the continental drift theory, the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates are continuously drifting apart with great forces under the gaping rifts. As the plates diverge, linear fractures, known as fissures, form due to stresses created by the tension that builds up as the plates move away from each other. The Bridge Between Continents at Sandvík is a small footbridge over a major fissure, providing clear evidence of the presence of a diverging plate margin. The bridge was built as a symbol of the connection between Europe and North America.

Join the tour of the Reykjanes Peninsula, a region renowned for its intense geological activity. Participants will witness Iceland’s newest lava fields and visit the town of Grindavík, where significant earthquakes have fractured roads, lava flows have impacted homes, and residents have had to evacuate.

The tour includes exploring a geothermal area with numerous hot springs, enjoying the picturesque lake Kleifarvatn, viewing Iceland’s oldest lighthouse, crossing the bridge between continents, and observing ancient lava fields blanketed in soft, vibrant moss.

!!!
The Reykjanes Peninsula, particularly around Grindavík, continues to be geologically active. Although no lava is currently flowing, an eruption could occur at any moment. Should this happen and certain areas become inaccessible, the tour will transform into an active volcano experience, providing the best possible viewpoint to observe the eruption—if conditions permit.
