Keilir
Keilir is the cone-shaped Reykjanes mountain many travelers notice between Reykjavík and Keflavík. Hike it when you have clear weather, spare time, and appetite for rough volcanic ground; skip it on tight airport days.
Mountain hike · Reykjanes Peninsula · Near Reykjavík and Keflavík
Keldur Turf House
Keldur Turf House is a preserved South Iceland farm complex near Hella, best for travelers who want a heritage pause with turf architecture, saga context, and a quieter contrast to waterfall-heavy South Coast days.
South Iceland turf farm · Near Hella · Historic cultural stop
Ketubjörg Cliffs and Waterfall
Ketubjörg helps North Iceland self-drivers decide whether the remote Skagi sea cliffs, ocean-falling waterfall, birdlife, and wind-exposed viewpoint deserve time away from easier route anchors on a slower coastal day.
Skagi sea cliffs · North Iceland waterfall · Remote coastal viewpoint
Kiddi's Workshop
Kiddi's Workshop is a small stone, photo, and craft collection in Hofn, best used as a low-effort cultural pause when your southeast Iceland route already brings you into town.
Hofn culture stop · Small museum · Ring Road add-on
Kirkjubæjarklaustur
Kirkjubæjarklaustur makes the most sense when you need one eastbound South Coast hinge: a village with convent-story landmarks, a national-park gateway role, and enough nearby stop variety to justify a pause or an overnight between Vík and Skaftafell.
South Coast hinge · Convent-story village · West Vatnajökull gateway
Kirkjubólsdalur
Kirkjubólsdalur is a quiet Westfjords valley near the mountain country around Dynjandi and Arnarfjörður. Add it when you want a slower scenic detour, not a fast checklist attraction.

Kirkjufjara Black Sand Beach
Kirkjufjara Black Sand Beach is best treated as a Dyrhólaey-side viewpoint and safety-aware coastal context, helping South Coast travelers decide whether to stop, look, and move on toward Reynisfjara or Vík.
Dyrhólaey-side beach · South Coast viewpoint · Access-sensitive stop
Kirkjugólf
Kirkjugólf is a small basalt pavement east of Kirkjubæjarklaustur, worth adding when your South Coast day needs one unusual geology stop with a short walk and strong nearby pairings, but not when you need a major destination.
South Coast stop · Basalt pavement · Near KlausturKistufell
Kistufell helps highland travelers decode a remote Vatnajökull mountain name, then decide whether it is useful route context, a specialist objective, or a place to leave off a normal Iceland itinerary.
Vatnajokull · Dyngjujokull · Remote Highlands · Volcanic mountain
Kjarnaskógur
Kjarnaskógur is Akureyri’s large city-edge forest, best when you want an easy outdoor pause, family space, biking, or winter trail texture without leaving North Iceland’s main route area.
North Iceland · Akureyri forest · 30 minutes to 2 hours
Kjarvalsstaðir Art Museum
Kjarvalsstaðir Art Museum is a park-side Reykjavík Art Museum location focused on Jóhannes S. Kjarval and Icelandic modern art, worth adding when a city day needs culture, shelter, and a quieter Klambratún stop.
Reykjavík · Museum · Klambratún · Easy access · Indoor stop
Kjölur / Kjalvegur
Kjölur / Kjalvegur helps prepared self-drivers understand the Road 35 highland crossing between the Gullfoss side and North Iceland, especially when deciding whether Hveravellir, Kerlingarfjöll, and current conditions justify the interior route.

Klambratún Park
Klambratún Park helps Reykjavík travelers decide whether a central green-space pause, playground break, casual sports stop, or Kjarvalsstaðir pairing belongs between the capital's bigger landmarks and indoor plans.
Reykjavík · City park · Kjarvalsstaðir · Family-friendly · Easy access
Klettshellir
Klettshellir is a large sea cave beneath Ystiklettur in the Westman Islands, worth planning only when a boat trip, sea conditions, ferry timing, and island-day priorities all make sense.
Westman Islands · Sea cave · Boat access
Klifbrekkufossar Waterfalls
Klifbrekkufossar Waterfalls are a tiered Eastfjords cascade in Mjóifjörður, worth the detour when your trip already has room for a remote fjord drive and you want dramatic roadside scenery without turning the stop into a full hike.
Eastfjords detour · Mjóifjörður waterfall · Remote scenic stopKnútstaðaborg
Knútstaðaborg is a small lava chamber in Aðaldalshraun, useful for geology-curious travelers near Húsavík who want context before deciding whether a cautious short stop is worth the effort.
North Iceland · Aðaldalshraun · Small lava chamber
Kolugljúfur Canyon
Kolugljúfur Canyon is a compact waterfall gorge in northwest North Iceland, best for travelers who want a memorable short stop between Vatnsnes, Blönduós, and larger north-coast route anchors.
North Iceland · Canyon stop · Kolufossar waterfalls
Kópavogskirkja Church
Kópavogskirkja is a compact Reykjavík-area church and viewpoint stop when you want local architecture, a quieter Kópavogur anchor, and a short pause that pairs cleanly with nearby culture or coastal plans.
Reykjavík-area church stop · city viewpoint · compact cultural anchor
Kópavogur
Kópavogur is a Reykjavík-adjacent town and Culture Hill cluster, useful when a capital-area day needs local museums, church views, pools, green walks, or Sky Lagoon context without committing to a long detour.
Reykjavík area · Culture + local stops · Easy half day
Krafla
Krafla is a volcanic area north of Lake Mývatn, where Víti crater, Leirhnjúkur lava fields, steam, and a geothermal power station make a strong but condition-sensitive North Iceland stop.
North Iceland · Mývatn area · Volcanic landscape
Krakatindur
Krakatindur is a jagged volcanic mountain near Hekla in South Iceland's Highlands, best for prepared summer drivers deciding whether a rough-track detour is worth the access, weather, and vehicle commitment.
Hekla-area mountain · Highland track · Remote 4x4 detour
Kringlan Shopping Mall
Kringlan belongs in a Reykjavík plan when city errands, casual food, cinema, library context, or child-friendly indoor time would otherwise interrupt a busy or weather-disrupted day in central Reykjavík.
Reykjavík shopping stop · Indoor practical backup · City service context
Krosslaug Hot Springs
Krosslaug Hot Springs is a small Barðaströnd bathing stop near Birkimelur, useful for Westfjords self-drives that already pass the southern coast and want a simple soak with Breiðafjörður views.
Barðaströnd hot spring · Breiðafjörður views · Westfjords short stop
Krossneslaug
Krossneslaug is a remote geothermal swimming pool on the Strandir coast of the Westfjords, worth planning when the long drive is part of the appeal and easy to skip on rushed Iceland routes.
