Sightseeing

Message from Jan In Iceland

The Bridge Between Continents is a symbolic footbridge spanning a fissure between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates on the Reykjanes Peninsula. Walking across this bridge offers a tangible experience of the Earth's geological activity, as the plates drift apart at approximately 2.5 cm per year. Informational signs at the site provide context about the region's unique geology.​

🚗 Road

The roads leading to the site are paved and suitable for all vehicles.

❄️ Winter

The site remains open during winter months.

🥾 Hike

A short, well-maintained path leads from the parking area to the bridge. The walk is easy and suitable for all ages, requiring minimal effort to reach the site.​

🚻 Facilities

There are no facilities directly at the bridge.
