Summer in Reykjavík: Seltjarnarnes

Yesterday, we woke up and checked the forecast: 17° and sunny! We set off straight away for a nice walk to Seltjarnarnes. This is the smallest Icelandic township by area, only 2 km². Our main purpose for the walk was to see the lighthouse Grótta.

Super clear water!
