Welcome to Reykjanes Peninsula! Located in southwest Iceland, this is a geologically fascinating region where two tectonic plates meet.
Given its location, the peninsula is seismically and volcanically active. Fagradalsfjall volcano erupted here in 2021, and many earthquakes are recorded daily as volcanic activity increases again.
But there’s plenty more to Reykjanes Peninsula than this! The region offers an array of exciting attractions, from geothermal areas to gorgeous cliffs.
The Blue Lagoon geothermal spa, one of National Geographic’s 25 wonders of the world, is also located here, only 50 kilometers from Reykjavik.
Relaxing in the warm, azure water is an unforgettable experience and a must-do in Iceland.
Tourists usually make short stops around the Peninsula on their way back to Keflavik Airport. However, this area has plenty to offer on at least a one-day tour.
