Reykjanes Geopark

Reykjanes Geopark lies on major plate boundaries along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, part of the 65,000km mid-ocean ridge that encircles the earth like a seam of a baseball.

Although 90% of this mountain range lies deep below the surface of the ocean, it rises above sea-level right on the Reykjanes Peninsula, making this one of the only places on earth where it is visible.

It is home to many important geological formations, some of which are utterly unique, including numerous types of volcanoes in at least four separate volcanic zones, with hundreds of open fissures and faults.

The northern angle of the Geopark stretches up to the Heiðmörk area in the capital.
