Reykjanes (The Steamy Peninsula) is the name of the south- westernmost tip of the country. The area is and looks very volcanically active and barren. The most conspicuous are the old shield volcanoes and the crater rows, which most probably were created in historic times. There is much thermal activity and the nearby, powerful high temperature area has partially been harnessed to supply energy to a salt factory and a fish processing factory for drying fish heads.
