The Reykjanes Peninsula is a UNESCO Global Geopark, you can see where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates drift apart. The area’s history is equally as split between two worlds, but town Keflavík, close to Keflavík International Airport, is famous for both excellent pop music and resilient fishermen.  The landscape has shaped the society and its history through the ages. A seemingly endless, green-grey moss-topped lava field blankets the peninsula, and lighthouses guard those travelling by sea. Nature is diverse, with volcanic and geothermal activity, and where the Blue Lagoon is a popular attraction. Reykjanes area is ripe with interesting museums and exhibitions, various must-see areas, and a whole host of interesting restaurants.
