Sightseeing
Seljalandsfoss
ÞórsmerkurvegurA beautiful waterfall you can walk behind.
Seljavallalaug is one of the oldest geothermal pool in Iceland, built 1923.
The pool is 25m long and about 10m wide. The water comes from a natural hot spring in the area. There is no entrance fee and the original very primitive dressing rooms are still there for use. There are no showers and you need to bring a towel.
About a 10 - 15 min hike from where you park your car.

Gjáin
StangarvegurMagical place to visit. Beautiful scenery like in a fairytale.
Dyrhólaey is a 120-metre high promontory, not far from Vík. The place got its name from the massive arch that the sea has eroded from the headland. (The name literally means "door-hole"). When the sea is calm, big boats can sail through it. There has even been a maniacal daredevil pilot that flew through the arch with a small-craft airplane! From the top of Dyrhólaey there is a great view. The headland is thought to have been made in an underwater volcanic eruption late in the glacial period
