To investigate our big-ticket summer attractions, local photographer Ása Steinars documented the perfect day out from Reykjavík, taking in a hike to our hot new #volcaniceruption and a soak in the otherwordly waters of the #BlueLagoon, before heading back to Reykjavík in time for dinner. Check out her route and her fantastic #drone images.

Perched on Iceland’s southwestern edge, the Reykjanes peninsula serves as the welcome mat for most arrivals to the country, as it’s home to the international airport at Keflavík. Reykjavík is just 50km (31 miles) down the road, the Blue Lagoon is just 20km (12 miles) from the airport.

A #volcanic wonderland – and in fact a certified UNESCO Geopark – Reykjanes is covered in ancient lava fields, with a landscape that seems from another planet. Not to get too technical: the peninsula straddles the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the tectonic boundary where the North American and Eurasian plates converge. It’s a geological hotbed of activity – this may well be the rugged, roiling Iceland you’ve fantasized about. An easy driving loop takes in the best of the geological gems.
