The Snæfellsnes Peninsula is renowned for beautiful nature and charming villages. There are many things to do and see there, and most of them can be covered in a day trip from Reykjavik, even in winter.
Half of Iceland's population was still living in turf homes in 1910.
Due to lack of trees in Iceland, building out of turf was a popular building material and thick turf walls were useful to ward off the cold.
