Silfra Fissure
The two tectonic continental plates of America and Europe meet in the Silfra fissure. As a highlight, you can go snorkeling in the 2-4 degree cold water. Don't worry about the cold, you'll be wrapped up in a dry suit and then warm cocoa and biscuits will be waiting for you.

Volcano Fagradalsfjall
On March 19th, 2021 the volcano erupted and became a tourist highlight. You can find the volcanic area on the Reykjanes peninsula, only about 40 km from the capital Reykjavík. The area around the volcano is now well developed and there are many parking spaces from which hiking routes to the lava field and the volcano start. The way to the lava field is quite easy to manage. In order to get up to the volcano, however, you should take the right equipment with you and not underestimate the steep climb.
- do not step on the lava, it will remain hot under the crust for years to come, there is a risk of it collapsing
- parking fee ca.5€

Whale Watching
There are many places to watch whales in Iceland. On the Snaefellsnes peninsula, Olafsvík is very suitable for this. Of course, no provider can give you a guarantee for a sighting. Unfortunately, I didn't see any whales either, but did see dolphins and a basking shark.
- Dress warmly! It can get quite cold out at sea
- from 70€

! be careful- Sheeps everywhere !
Especially if you are traveling by rental car, you should pay attention to the sheep and wild animals. It's easy for a sheep to cross the street and usually 1-2 more will follow, or a whole flock will come towards you. Here you should first stop and then drive on slowly, most of the time they will quickly move to the side.

Snaefellsnes
The Snaefellsnes peninsula is in western Iceland. There are great whale watching tours here and you can also spot seals.
Ytri Tunga: this is where you can find the seals. You should behave quietly and keep your distance so you don't scare the animals. If you are lucky, they will offer you great photo opportunities.
Djúpalónssandur: is a great beach with fascinating rock formations. On the beach you will also find a few small wreckage parts of old boats.
Ólafsvík: excellent place for whale watching tours
Búðakirkja: here is the next photo spot, the black church of Búðir
