A nice little park on a small island between a small river.

If you take a stroll along the Ægisida, where locals all year round and tourists in the summer season like to walk, you’ll at some point come across a tangled shape of bronze rising from a pile of boulders. At first perhaps you won’t even pay much attention to it, with the complicity of the beautiful seascape, especially in the high tide. It took me some time to get used to that weird bronze shape placed in the vicinity of an improvised football field; the very first time, from a huge distance, it looked to me like – I admit it with a little embarrassment – a wolf howling at the sky.

Due to the inflow of warm water from geothermal springs, the bathing temperature in the bay is comparatively pleasant.

As of August 18, 2025: Iceland experienced its twelfth volcanic eruption in just over four years. On the sparsely populated Reykjanes Peninsula, southwest of Reykjavik, the earth opened up again on Wednesday, July 16. Since Tuesday, August 5, no more lava has been escaping from the eruption fissure located approximately seven kilometers northeast of Grindavik. Volcanologists believe it is highly likely that the eruption has ended for the time being. The temporarily closed campsite in the town of Grindavik is now freely accessible again.

An urban lake in the heart of the city, surrounded by parks, trails, and historic buildings like City Hall. It's home to ducks, swans, and geese year-round, and in winter its surface often freezes, turning into an improvised skating rink. An ideal place for strolling, birdwatching, and enjoying the tranquility in the heart of the city.

An old narrow-gauge locomotive used in the early 20th century to transport materials from the port during the construction of docks and dikes. Restored and displayed outdoors in the port area, it is a small testament to the city's industrial history and a nod to the era when the railway, albeit briefly, was present in Iceland.

Really impressive in the old lava fields
