Hafnir - Approaching the quaint village of Hafnir, overlooking a small bay. Although only a few hundred people reside here now, it was once dominated by two of Iceland’s largest estates, whose owners often clashed!
-
Hafnarberg Sea Cliffs - Next are the Hafnarberg Sea Cliffs, offering breathtaking coastal views. The easy trail to reach them is three miles round trip and takes about an hour to complete.
-
Bridge Between Continents - The Bridge Between Continents connects the North American Plate to the Eurasian Plate. Though only about 50 feet long, it allows you to walk from North America to Europe! Quite a bragging right!
-
Gunnuhver Hot Springs - Up ahead, Gunnuhver Hot Springs provide spectacular volcanic views. This high-temperature geothermal field is near an active volcano. To our right, a gentle rise marks Gunnuhver Volcano, the hot springs’ main source!
-
Reykjanesta Lighthouse - On our right, the Reykjanes Lighthouse stands guard over the peninsula’s southern tip. Since 1878, a lighthouse has been on this hill, guiding sailors and fishermen past the dangerous cliffs.
-
Valahnukamol - Looking at the statue, you might think: Wait, that’s a penguin! While these stout, flightless birds resemble penguins, they are a completely different species!
-
Brimketill lava rock pool - ‘Brimketill’ means “whitewater cauldron.” Legend says this cauldron belonged to a giant troll named Oddný! Oddný and her husband Hróar lived in a nearby cave. At night, Oddný would come to her cauldron to cook and wash clothes. Sounds quite serene!
-
Fagradalsfjall Volcano Eruptions: 2023, 2022, 2021 - The 1,200-foot Fagradalsfjall is a true trendsetter: Its 2021 eruption began the recent volcanic activity known as the New Reykjanes Fires. Before this, it had been nearly 800 years since a major volcanic event on the peninsula! Truly groundbreaking!
-
Selatangar - Our next optional detour is a 5-minute drive to the Selatangar ruins, an old fishing station. Located about a mile from the highway, Selatangar offers a glimpse into Icelandic life centuries ago… and it wasn’t always pleasant!
-
Krísuvíkurberg Cliffs - In a few minutes, we’ll reach the turn-off for Krísuvíkurberg Cliffs. These steep cliffs are a popular spot for iconic Icelandic birds: kittiwakes, guillemots, and even some puffin families!
