• Bridge Between Continents - A bridge connecting Europe and North America on the Reykjanes Peninsula.

The Reykjanes Peninsula, marked by lava formations, is situated on the Mid Atlantic Ridge, one of the world’s significant plate boundaries. According to the theory of continental drift, the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates are continuously moving apart with immense force beneath the visible rifts. As these plates separate, linear fractures, known as fissures, form due to the tension created by the plates moving away from each other.
The Bridge Between Continents at Sandvík is a small footbridge over a significant fissure, clearly demonstrating the presence of a diverging plate margin. This bridge symbolizes the connection between Europe and North America.

Visitors can cross the continental divide on Leif the Lucky’s Bridge and receive a personalized certificate at the Reykjanes Information Center and Reykjanes Geopark Visitor Center at Duus Cultural House.

• Reykjanes Lighthouse - Iceland’s first lighthouse was constructed on Valahnúkur in Reykjanes in 1878. By 1905, earthquakes and surf had damaged Valahnúkur so severely that the lighthouse was at risk of collapsing into the sea.

Consequently, a new lighthouse was built between 1907 and 1908 on Bæjarfell Hill in Reykjanes, and the old one was demolished with an explosion on April 16, 1908. A survey conducted by Rögnvaldur Guðmundsson in 2007 for the Icelandic Maritime Administration concluded that Reykjanes Lighthouse was the most popular lighthouse among Icelanders.
The light signal is 69 meters above sea level, while the lighthouse itself is 26 meters tall. Reykjanes Lighthouse also features a radio beacon with a correction signal. The lighthouse is constructed from carved rock and concrete. Architect Frederik Kjørboe and engineer Thorvald Krabbe designed the lighthouse. The Icelandic Maritime Administration oversees the operation of Reykjanes Lighthouse.

• Gunnuhver Hot Springs - Located near Reykjanes Lighthouse, this area is named Gunnuhver after a female ghost said to have been laid to rest there.

Mud pools form where steam from boiling geothermal reservoir water rises, condenses, and mixes with surface water. Gases such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide make the water acidic, altering the fresh lava rock into clay.
The steaming of the ground at Reykjanes increased significantly due to a pressure drop in the geothermal reservoir when production began in 2006. Currently, Iceland’s largest mud pool is prominent, located highest in the Gunnuhver group. It spans 20 meters across a rim of mud, boiling vigorously. Gunnuhver is situated in the heart of the Reykjanes UNESCO Global Geopark, where the North Atlantic Ridge emerges from the ocean.

• Krysuvik - A significant high-temperature geothermal area.

The area offers numerous study opportunities due to its diverse features. A boardwalk guides visitors through the area. Seltún features many mud pots and fumaroles, with minerals from geothermal solutions creating colorful sediments. There are good walking paths and parking available.
Seltún is part of the Reykjanes Nature Reserve.
Location: Road 42, parking near Kleifarvatn.

• Kleifarvatn Lake - A lake situated between Sveifluháls and Vatnshlíð.

Kleifarvatn Lake covers about 10 km², making it the largest on the Reykjanes Peninsula and the third largest in southern Iceland. It is approximately 97 meters deep, ranking among Iceland’s deepest lakes. Its catchment area is small, with very limited surface discharge. Since 2000, the lake has diminished due to two major earthquakes, likely opening fissures at its bottom. In the 1960s, char fries from Lake Hlidarvatn were introduced to the lake and have thrived.
In the southernmost part, hot water from some hot springs flows into the lake, while elsewhere the lake remains very cold. A small fishing lodge is located by the lake. It is an excellent spot for photographers due to the unique and beautiful volcanic surroundings. Legend has it that a monster resembling a worm and the size of a medium-sized whale inhabits the lake.
