Rauðhólar - Here we will see Raudholar pseudocraters. They are formed when 1,100°C molten lava flows over ponds and swamps, causing the water to boil.
The pressure of the steam from the boiling water then causes explosions, which in turn creates the pseudocraters. - Elliðaárdalur - Ellidaardalur is a hidden nature gem inside Reykjavik with the…

- Elliðaárdalur - Ellidaardalur is a hidden nature gem inside Reykjavik with the Ellidaarvirkjun (hydropower plant). See the first electric hydro plant in Iceland supplying electricity to Reykjavik with 4 generators from Sweden. And how they manage to prevent the Salmon from going up the river at the same time.
- Laugardalur Park - We have a look at the first geothermal water pump station in Reykjavik, established in 1930. And the washing pools, and the benefits for the residents to have accessibility to hot water for free.
- Nautholsvik Geothermal Beach - Nauthólsvík is a beach with imported golden sands, unlike most others in Iceland which are covered in black ash. It looks out across a narrow bay to a picturesque district of Kopavogur, a town within the Greater Reykjavík Area, and has a small cove into which the geothermal water is pumped.
- Grotta Lighthouse - Grótta is a nature reserve on the tip of the Seltjarnarnes Peninsula, in the north-westernmost part of the Greater Reykjavík Area. It has been a nature reserve since 1974 due to its abundant birdlife.
