   Reykjanes exhibitions and museums offer visitors an experience and tours into the culture and history of the region which reaches back to Iceland’s settlement.

   The Reykjanes Peninsula with its moonlike landscape is popular for outdoor activities. Whether it is soaking in geothermal waters in the local swimming pool, hiking, snorkelling, driving an ATV, mountain biking, kayaking or sea-angling, it is a tremendous way to experience Reykjanes Geopark for newcomers, and having great fun while doing it.

   To understand and witness the great natural and cultural highlights of the Reykjanes UNESCO Global Geopark, we highly recommend the geothermal area of Gunnuhver, the Bridge between continents where visitors can hike on the boundaries of the North-American and Eurasian tectonic plates, the lighthouses of Reykjanes and Garðskagi, lake Kleifarvatn and ocean views at Brimketill a small, naturally carved pool, by marine erosion.
