The Reykjanes Peninsula in southwest Iceland is an active volcanic landscape where the Mid-Atlantic Ridge comes ashore, producing lava fields, fumaroles, and geothermal pools across a stark, treeless terrain. The Bridge Between Continents walkway near Sandvík visually marks the gap between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. The peninsula was extensively reshaped by eruption series beginning in 2021, and the active volcanic zones continue to be monitored.
