🏔️ About This Location

Ásbrú & Keilir

📍 toward the north-east of Ásbrú & Keilir.

  • Former US military base
  • Keilir university campus
  • Close to the airport
  • Unusual Cold War–era layout
💡
Local Tip

Keilir campus here draws a mix of students, adding a bit more life to what was once a closed military site.

🏔️ Nearby Sights

Notable places within about 40 km — shown as straight-line (air) distance, not travel distance

Blue Lagoon 11 km away (air distance)

The lagoon was formed by outflow from the nearby Svartsengi geothermal power plant, which uses superheated water drawn from deep below the lava field. Its colour comes from dissolved silica and algae. People soon discovered that bathing in the water seemed to help skin conditions, and a spa grew up around it. The water is renewed regularly.

Bridge Between the Continents 14 km away (air distance)

The bridge is just a short walk from the car park, so a visit takes only around twenty to thirty minutes. Many people collect a certificate at a nearby visitor centre as a souvenir. Combine it with other Reykjanes sights such as the lighthouse, the geothermal area at Gunnuhver, or the village of Hafnir.

Garðskagi Lighthouses 14 km away (air distance)

The older lighthouse dates from 1897, while the taller, newer one was built in 1944 and still guides ships. The coast here has seen many wrecks over the centuries, which is why lighthouses were needed. A small folk museum nearby displays fishing tools, boats and engines that tell the story of the local community.
