Overview of your Reykjavik tour
Snaefellsnes Peninsula is one of the most scenic parts of Iceland. I lived on this peninsula for a few months when I was a boy. Ever since this route has had a special place in my heart and soul. I've been showing foreign visitors the amazing sights along this route for over 20 years and I'm sure you'll love it too. Snaefellsnes National Park is one of the highlights of this route. Inside the park is a perfectly shaped cone volcano which last erupted about 1800 years ago. It is covered with one of Iceland's smallest glaciers. Jules Verne's expedition in the book the Journey Through the Center of the Earth started in this volcano. Along the way you'll see modern lava fields some as young as 800 years old, ring walled crater, cinder cones, columnar basalt formation, great coastline and fishing villages.
