Keflavik International Airport lies on the southwest tip of the Reykjanes Peninsula. Many visitors drive straight to Reykjavik without seeing the stunning volcanic landscape of Iceland’s youngest region. If you arrive early, why not turn your private airport transfer into a short sightseeing trip before check-in time? On the way to your hotel in Reykjavik, you can explore the fascinating geothermal wonders of the Reykjanes Peninsula and make a relaxing stop at the world-famous Blue Lagoon—the perfect start to your Icelandic adventure.
Reykjanes is very interesting area seen from a geological point. The landscape is rough and a bit alien looking. It is dominated by lava field covered with moss. Everywhere you look, no matter in what direction, lava fields stretch to the horizon. Reykjanes features high temperature geothermal activity, including fissures, lava cracks, tectonic faults, volcanic craters, geysers, mud pools, lava fields, caves, and more.
Already in 2021 when volcanic eruption started, the area became very popular destination for both Icelanders and tourist visiting Iceland. It is still a popular destination to visit, mainly to see the new lava and the new crater. We will stop at the new lava close to the main road.
