A wind-whipped parking lot gives way to a planet in motion: steam columns rise from boiling vents, black rock fields stretch to the horizon, and the ground underfoot hums with recent history. On this full-day route around the Reykjanes Peninsula you move from the hollow rims of Stampar’s twin craters to the hissing throat of Gunnuhver, then along fresh Fagradalsfjall lava fields before stepping into the cool, cavernous Raufarhólshellir lava tunnel.
