Founded in the 16th century, Keflavík developed on account of its fishing and fish processing industry, founded by Scottish entrepreneurs and engineers.[citation needed] Later its growth continued from flight operations at the Keflavík International Airport which was built by the US during the 1940s. The airport used to hold a significant NATO military base and was a vital pre-jet refueling stop for trans-Atlantic commercial air traffic. It now serves as Iceland's main international hub.
During World War II the military airfield served as a refueling and transit depot. During the Cold War, Naval Air Station Keflavik played an important role in monitoring marine and submarine traffic from the Norwegian and Greenland Seas into the Atlantic Ocean. Forces from the United States Air Force were added to provide radar monitoring, fighter intercept, in-flight refueling, and aerial/marine rescue. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, however, the base's role was cast into doubt. The base officially closed on 30 September 2006, when the United States withdrew the remaining 30 military personnel.
In Iceland, Keflavík was renowned as a rich source of musicians during the 1960s and 70s, and is therefore also known as bítlabærinn or The Beatle Town.

My Iceland #12: Reykjanes
Part 12 of the My Iceland project
A weird couple of days around the bizarre and quiet Reykjanes peninsula. A world of volcanic hills and jagged lava fields; off flat windy headlands and shipwrecks. I first see the seething heat at Seltún before spending a folklore-filled night at the workaday but friendly fishing town of Grindavík. After that I head up the western flank past lighthouses and lonely farms before journeying back to the capital.

Durée de l'activité: 01h00
Coût: Gratuit
Toute de suite après le petit déjeuner, nous nous sommes empressés de sortir à l'extérieur du camping-car pour explorer les lieux.
Nous avons monté au sommet de falaises escarpées qui résistent tant bien que mal à l'érosion afin d'avoir une vue panoramique de toute la région.
Au large de la côte, on peut apercevoir l'île d'Eldey qui abrite la plus grande colonie de fous de Bassan au monde.
Du côté opposé, le phare de Reykjanes se dresse au haut d'une petite colline située en plein coeur d'une magnifique vallée. Il s'agit du plus vieux phare d'Islande.
Nous avons parcouru le sentier qui mène jusqu'au phare. De là-haut, nous avons une vue d'ensemble du site géothermique de Gunnuhver.

Location was excellent, close to the airport and Blue lagoon! The Hotel was very cozy and staff was helpful and very good.
Great breakfast, nice staff, bonus to sign up for a northern lights wake up call if they were spotted late at night. Great to be 5 minutes from the Blue Lagoon which was an absolute highlight of our Iceland trip. Dinner soup and salad buffet had lots of nice fresh vegetables.
Minuses:
Never given info on activities such as the yoga that was offered.
