July 2010.
Reykjanes Peninsula is a beautiful area, very active with lots of hot springs and diverse beautiful sights. You’ll get close up with the hot springs in Seltun and the infamous Gunnuhver hot spring, Lake Kleifarvatn, Graenavatn (e. Green Lake), Ogmundarhraun lava field, the Reykjanesviti lighthouse and the bridge between the Eurasian and American continent plates. Last but not least you can go to the Blue Lagoon for a lunch, a massage or simply dive in for a nice relaxation in the geothermal wonder.
Lake Kleifarvatn is 97 meters deep and the 8th. deepest in Iceland. It started to diminish after the earthquake on June 17th. 2000 (6,6 Richter Scale) but has been coming back since 2006.
Reykjanes has many hot springs and this one can be found in Seltun in Krysuvik.
At the toe of Reykjanes you'll find Reykjanesviti lighthouse and beautifull cliffs. This cliff in the ocean is called Man.
This bridge lies between the two continent plates Eurasia and America over the gorge that the plates have formed on the surface. This gorge widens by 2 cm. each year due to the drift of the plates.
Hi Svenni
What a wonderful tour we had with you.
The beauty of Lake Kleifarvatn was breathtaking, thanks to the vantage point we had, and your flexibility, we have some wonderful photos to remind us.
Seltun was an experience that will stay with us for a long time!
The knowledge you imparted of the geology in such an enthusiastic way, was fascinating, and has left us wanting to learn more. One of our most interesting points of the day was the trip to the Tectonic Plates.
Thank you so much for a well thought out day. We thoroughly enjoyed your company and good driving, and would definitely take another trip with you in the future.
We would certainly recommend anyone to take an individual tour with you.
