Iceland, exit from Faxaflói Bay (“Smoke Bay”), near Reykjavik

Reykjavik, the northernmost capital city in the world. On the Atlantic Ocean, at Faxaflói Bay below the 900 meter high Esja mountain. The name probably comes from the vapors of the hot springs. Between the Reykjanes and Snæfellsnes peninsulas in the southwest of Iceland.

Reykjavik, die am nördlichsten gelegene Hauptstadt der Welt. Am Atlantik, an der Faxaflói-Bucht unterhalb des etwa 900 Meter hohen Hausberges Esja. Der Name rührt vermutlich von den Dämpfen der heißen Quellen her. Zwischen den Halbinseln Reykjanes und Snæfellsnes im Südwesten Islands.
