The region's stand-outs — each with photos, facts, and its own page.
Reykjanestá
Reykjanes is a small headland on the south-western end of the Reykjanes Peninsula in Iceland, giving the main peninsula its name. Volcanic action is responsible for forming the entire peninsula. The nearest town is Keflavik. Icelandic peninsula where land meets the Atlantic. Peninsula driving often takes longer than maps suggest - enjoy the journey.
Reykjanes
The peninsula greeting arrivals to Iceland - and often overlooked. Volcanic landscapes, geothermal areas, coastal drama. The Blue Lagoon is here, but there's much more. Lighthouses, lava fields, the Bridge Between Continents, and recent volcanic eruptions (2021-2024) near Grindavík. Less than an hour from Reykjavík. A proper day exploring beats just rushing to or from the airport.
