Grindavík is a beautiful Icelandic fishing town on the south coast of the Reykjanes peninsula.

Nature shows it’s might in many shapes and sizes in and around Grindavík. Earth’s magnificent power has surfaced in the form of frightening lava fields and cracks, craters and small canyons provide a full scale display of the movements of the tectonic plates. The ocean pounds the shoreline seamlessly and thereby takes on an important role in shaping the land. It’s no wonder that a number of prominent artists have searched for -and found -inspiration in the nature of this area.
East of Grindavík, Krysuvik, Selatangar, Festarfjall and seemingly endless lava fields are among places to see. To the south, the Atlantic Ocean stretches all the way to South America! West of Grindavík, there´s Reykjanes and the Reykjanes light house, Gunnuhver (Gunnu Geyser), Brimketill, Eldvorp and a multitude of other interesting phenomena, sure to play with your senses. .

Thorbjörn stands about 250 meters tall and is very accessible by foot. The stroll up there is very rewarding - a great view of almost the entire Reykjanes peninsula.

It winds its way by the shoreline and into the lava fields, creating a great variety of holes.

Nice sunday every one,Luc
