Highlights of the Reykjanes peninsula private tour
Meet the forces of Reykjanes including a visit to the resting volcano.
The Reykjanes is coming alive and it reminded us, with an eruption just over a year ago, that there is a reason it is all covered with lava fields. The Atlantic ridge is coming on land on the southwest corner of the peninsula so you could expect some action there. The land is marked by these forces by fissures after earthquakes, rift valleys and violent hot springs. And now a brand new volcano adds to the reason you just must go and pay a visit.

Itinerary
The first stop will be Kleifarvatn, a lake surrounded by a spectacular formation of palagonite. After a short stop at Seltún with its typical high-heat geothermal muddy hot springs, we continue our journey to visit the brand new lava field at Fagradalsfjall. After a walk to the lava field to explore the newest part of Iceland we visit Grindavík fishing town, Gunnhver powerful hot spring and the Reykjanesviti lighthouse. At the bridge between the two continents, the forces that are tearing Iceland apart can clearly be seen. We will now start heading home with short stops in some of the small fishing towns on the way.
