Your exploration of the Reykjanes peninsula continues with a visit to the iconic Bridge Between Continents, where you'll stand in the divide between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. Your guide will tell you more about Iceland's tectonic activity and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. It's an excellent place for a photo stop.
After a busy morning, your guide will lead you on an exhilarating hike to the Fagradalsfjall volcano. Here, you'll learn about the country's dramatic volcanic activity firsthand. It's an incredible place that's constantly changing, and seeing it up close is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
