The Grapevine's take
Reykjanes Peninsula
Rugged, yet charming, Reykjanes is a great daytrip, with numerous recent eruption sights that can be visited (if there isn’t an ongoing eruption that is), Kleifarvatn lake, hot springs, rock formations, rock-beating surf and the options of checking out half-abandoned town and eruption-casualty Grindavík, along with numerous other options along the way in a road trip that can easily be done in a single day.
