The Giganta in the mountain moved to the Town of Reykjanes during the family and cultural festival Night of Lights in 2008 and is now located in Black Cave at the marina in Gróf. There the Giganta has been settling in her nice cave with its superb view over the bay of Keflavík and Faxaflói.

Reykjanes Maritime Center

A rich chapter in Iceland’s maritime tradition seen through the model collection of Captain Grímur Karlsson. Almost since the the time the country was first settled, Icelanders have put to sea in search of fish. For centuries, they faced the might of the North Atlantic in open six- and eight-oared boats.

Bridge between continents

The Lava-scarred Reykjanes peninsula lies on one of the world’s major plate boundaries, the Mid-AtlanticRidge. According to the continental drift theory, the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates are continuously drifting apart with great forces under the gaping rifts.
