Reykjanes
Reykjanes (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈreiːcaˌnɛːs]) is a small headland on the southwestern tip of the Reykjanes Peninsula in Iceland, giving the main peninsula its name. The region is about nine kilometres (5+1⁄2 miles) from Iceland's international airport.[1]
As the name means "smoking peninsula" connected to volcanic activity, there are also other peninsulas by this name in Iceland, e.g. the peninsula of the peninsula of Reykjanes in Ísafjarðardjúp.
