- Bridge Between Continents - A symbolic bridge between 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 fissures, form due to stresses created by the tension that builds up as the plates move away from each other. The Bridge between two continents is a small footbridge over a major fissure, which provides clear evidence of the presence of a diverging plate margin.
- Gunnuhver Hot Springs - Gunnuhver is the name of an impressive and colourful geothermal field of various mud pools and fumaroles in the southwest part of the Reykjanes Peninsula.Themud pools take form where steam from boiling geothermal reservoir water emanates and condenses and mixes with surface water. Accompanying gases such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide make the water acid. This causes alteration of the fresh lava rock to clay.
- Reykjanesta Lighthouse - Explore the breathtaking view of the cliffs and birdlife at Reykjanesta and see the iconic Reykjanesviti lighthouse.
- Brimketill - Brimketill is a small, naturally carved pool, by marine erosion, at the lava shore edge west of the town of Grindavík.
- Grindavik - Lunch at Grindavik, a town which had to be evacuated because of the eruptions and earthquakes in the area. We will also drive around the town and see how affected the town has been after recent events. We will stop at few locations were you can touch lava from recent eruptions in the area and see the walls which have been built around the Blue lagoon and the town og Grindavik. If interested, we can take a hike to be able to see the craters which have formed in recent events in Reykjanes.
- Seltún Geothermal Area - We will drive back to Reykjavik through Krisuvik and Kleifarvatn and stop by a geothermal area named Seltún. At Seltún you will seebubbling mud pools and steaming hot springs. The landscape is other worldly.
