Iceland (3) – Reykjanes
Straight south of Reykjanesbaer on Road 425, you will find Reykjanes. After visiting the Blue Lagoon, we headed south towards Grindavik and found a geothermal area covered with steam and red encrusted rock.
A wooded pedway allows visitors to walk through this area. You can smell the steam and sulphur everywhere. Temperatures can reach 100C.
We decided to venture towards the lighthouse in the distance. Unfortunately, there is no direct road from our location to get there, so we had to make one big circle through Hafnir on some rough terrain. Our determination paid off. We came across some beautiful cliffs and bird nesting.
