Southern Peninsula Zip code

Southern Peninsula, also known as the Reykjanes Peninsula, is a region in southwest Iceland. In the southwest corner of Reykjanesskagi, Reykjanes is the name of a place where people live. The area has a population of 27,829 (2020) and is one of the most crowded places on the island. There is an administrative centre in the town of Keflavk, which had about 7,000 people when it merged with the nearby town of Njarvk and Hafnir in 1995 to form Reykjanesbaer. In 2018, the region had a population of 17,805. People who want to go to Iceland usually go to Keflavk International Airport, which is in this area. Some fishing towns, such as Grindavk, Njarvk, and Sandgeri, are on the peninsula, which is where they are. The peninsula has a lot of volcanoes under the surface and lava fields that don't let much vegetation grow. At Kleifarvatn lake and Krsuvk geothermal area, there are a lot of places where there are hot springs. This place has a geothermal power station. The hot and mineralized water from the power station has been used to build a spa and pool area near the power station. It is called the "Blue Lagoon." Grindavk is a city in Iceland. It's near the rift valley of the Eurasian and North American continental tectonic plates, which is 60 feet wide and 20 feet (6.1 m) deep. Leif the Lucky Bridge was built in 2002. It was named after an Icelandic explorer who travelled from Europe to the United States 500 years before Christopher Columbus. People living on the Reykjanes Peninsula in 2020 and into 2021 saw a lot of volcanoes erupt for the first time in more than 800 years. In 2021, National Geographic's experts said that the eruption of the Fagradalsfjall volcano on March 19, 2021, could set off a long-term volcanic eruption. The eruption was small, which led to a prediction that this volcano would not be a threat to "any population centres."
