About Reykjanes Volcanic Peninsula
The Reykjanes Peninsula is one of the most geologically dynamic places on earth — a stretch of land where the Mid-Atlantic Ridge emerges from the sea and tears through the landscape. Since 2021, a series of eruptions near Grindavík have created new volcanic landscapes that change week by week. The area features dramatic lava fields, fumaroles, boiling mud pools, geothermal power stations, fishing villages and the famous Blue Lagoon — all within 50 km of Reykjavík.
