What To Expect
Bridge Between Continents
A symbolic bridge between Europe and North America on the Reykjanes Peninsula. The lava-scarred Reykjanes peninsula lies on one of the world's major plate boundaries, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. According to the continental drift theory, the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates are continuously drifting apart with great forces under the gaping rifts. As the plates diverge, linear fissures, form due to stresses created by the tension that builds up as the plates move away from each other. The Bridge between two continents is a small footbridge over a major fissure, which provides clear evidence of the presence of a diverging plate margin.
Gunnuhver Hot Springs
Gunnuhver is the name of an impressive and colourful geothermal field of various mud pools and fumaroles in the southwest part of the Reykjanes Peninsula.Themud pools take form where steam from boiling geothermal reservoir water emanates and condenses and mixes with surface water. Accompanying gases such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide make the water acid. This causes alteration of the fresh lava rock to clay.

5.00Having visited Iceland multiple times, we had been on the standard tours. The tours were all interesting and informative but one dreary day in April 2025, we were truly inspired by a tour of the Reykjanes Peninsula with Siggy (Sigfus) as our guide. The experience couldn’t have been better. We especially wanted to see the area where the recent volcanic activity had occurred. He was very accommodating to our request to poke around the recent eruptions and look at the lava flows that we had watched real-time on TV. It was very impressive to see the lava (some still warm) in real life.Siggy was punctual, friendly, full of insight into the region’s geology, history and current volcanic activity. His easygoing nature and humor made the day especially enjoyable. We visited a great mix of sites, including Kleifarvatn Lake, the new lava fields near Grindavik, Brimketill of the coast, the Bridge Between Continents, and the Reykjanes Lighthouse with the nearby Great Auk statue. Siggy’s commentary brought life to each stop. His vehicle was clean and comfortable, making for a smooth and pleasant ride throughout the tour. Siggy made this fascinating region of Iceland a most memorable and special experience. He knows where the best bakery stops are located and by late afternoon arranged for the sun to break through a week of clouds and rain! We wholeheartedly recommend a ‘Siggy Tour” to anyone looking for an introduction to this fascinating region of Iceland. Susan and Mick O’Halloran. (Maine/USA)

5.00I had an amazing day touring the Reykjanes Peninsula with Sigfús (Siggy) as my driver-guide and my family. He was on time, super friendly, and had a great sense of humor and made the whole day that much more fun. We stopped at some unforgettable places: Kleifarvatn Lake, the fresh lava fields near Grindavík, Brimketill where waves were really churning, the Bridge Between Continents, and even the "Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga" Volcano Man keyboard near the Reykjanes lighthouse. Siggy knows so much about the land, the history, people, and all the geological happenings in the area. His van was clean and comfortable, and the whole experience felt relaxed but really well-organized. If you want to explore Iceland with someone who’s both knowledgeable and hilarious, I can’t recommend Siggy enough.
