See Iceland's oldest lighthouse! Rekjanesviti (Reykjanes lighthouse) sits at the very edge of the Reykjanes Peninsula. In addition to the lighthouse, there is a gorgeous 50-60 meter (164 - 197 feet) high sea cliff called Karlinn ("The Man") sitting stoically out at sea and being bashed by waves. The whole area is picturesque and worth a visit.

This place is located just a few minutes away from Gunnuhver, which is Iceland's largest mud pool and it's said to be haunted.

Random Fact - This is one of the places where Will Ferrell & Rachel McAdams filmed the "Volcano Man" music video for the movie "Eurovision Song Contest - The Story of Fire Saga".
