Abstract
To reach Reykjanes, the southwesternmost part of the Reykjanes Peninsula , you first drive either Road 40 or 41 to the town of Hafnarfjördur . When you come to the southwest part of the town, there are two roads that can take us to Reykjanes. One is Road 41, that is, the one you are on, which is the same as you drove from the Keflavik Airport to Reykjavik when you arrived. The other one is to turn left (to the south) and drive along Road 42 to the geothermal field and explosion craters close to the lake Kleifarvatn, and then follow roads 427 and 425 to Reykjanes. In this excursion, we take the second option, Road 42 (Fig. 13.1).
