- Valahnúkur - Valahnúkur is composed of tuff layers, pillow lava and breccia. The mountain was formed in a single eruption and shows evidence of the different phases of the eruption. The tuff forms in explosive eruption, while the pillow lava forms when the lava erupts under water.
- Gunnuhver Hot Springs - The mud pools take form where steam from boiling geothermal reservoir water emanates and condenses and mixes with surface water. Accompanying gases such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide make the water acid. This causes alteration of the fresh lava rock to clay.
- Brimketill - Brimketill is a small, naturally carved pool, by marine erosion, at the lava shore edge west of the town of GrindavÃk.
