Krysuvik Cliffs

Reviewed By DougH98012 - Mill Creek, United States

You can only reach the bird cliffs via a very rough road, but it was well worth the effort. Stunning views of the ocean from a very tall cliff where huge volumes of birds nest.

Reykjanes Lighthouse

Reviewed By Travel_Addict_Cyprus - Michigan, United States

If you want to explore Reykjanes Peninsula, which I highly recommend, you should add Reykjanes Lighthouse to your itinerary. The area was filled with lupines when we visited in early June. Such a beautiful sight! Walk up to the lighthouse for a beautiful vantage point of the ocean. You can then drive towards the coast and explore that area.

Bridge Between Continents

The Bridge between continents is a small footbridge over a major fissure which provides clear evidence of the presence of a diverging plate margin. The bridge was built as a symbol for the connection between Eurasian and North America tectonic plates.

A really cool and interesting place to visit! It was a super wet and rainy day when we visited so we only turned up briefly, but it was very interesting.

The Giantess in the Mountain

Reviewed By sharonq867 - Zeeland, The Netherlands

It's on the other side of the little Harbour and very funny to just go in and see the giant and it's bed and toothbrush. If you are in the neighborhood anyway you should take a look inside the cave. The local people tell the story that children who turn to old for a pacifier will go to the cave with their parents and leave it in the tree. The cave is well kept and very neat. But be aware that the giant is not, you can hear her snor and burp from the other side of the Harbour.
