Thanks to its geothermal and volcanic features, Reykjanes is a designated UNESCO GeoPark. You’ll see unusual and stunning features around the peninsula, including craters, lava cliffs, and fissures. One of these is the mysterious Kleifarvatn, famous for its mention in Arnaldur Indríðason’s suspense novel, The Draining Lake.
Visit the Krýsuvík geothermal area with its multi-coloured bubbling mud pools and hissing steam vents. Drive along the seacoast with amazing views of powerful waves, stopping to visit historical Strandarkirkja. Over the years, Icelanders have prayed in this lovely church for the safety and fortune of loved ones working on the sea.It’s very special to spend some moments outside the church and take in the views of the mighty ocean and rocky coastline.
