The Southwestern Tip of Iceland: Reykjanes Peninsula

When people think of Iceland, they often imagine spectacular landscapes that can’t be found anywhere else in the world. And there’s a corner of the country that displays some of the best geological features that have made Iceland famous in the world: The Reykjanes Peninsula. Located in the southwest, this rugged, volcanic stretch of land is sometimes overlooked by visitors who come to Iceland, as they rush to other places like Reykjavik or the Golden Circle. However, this region has some of the best things to see and do in the entire island.
