This drone footage for the major travels and shows Iceland Route 41. Route 41, known as Reykjanesbraut in Icelandic, is a highway in south-west of Iceland, running along the northern shore of Reykjanes peninsula and through the Capital Region. Previously, much of the road was called Keflavíkurvegur but the name is now given to route 424, that runs from Reykjanesbraut through outer Njarðvík and Keflavik (airport). The current road is mostly a dual carriageway. In addition to being the main road between Reykjavík and Keflavík, it serves as a major traffic artery in the eastern and southern suburbs of the Capital Region. It runs from the intersection of Miklabraut-Sæbraut-Vesturlandsvegur south towards Hafnarfjörður, where it bends, and continues from there to Keflavík (airport). The road was finished in 1912 and was paved in 1965. The year 2003 saw the start of construction to upgrade the non-urban part to a four-lane road. This was completed by October 2008. The part of route 41 shown in this video is called Sæbraut.
The path way along the coast shown is called the Sculpture & Shore Walk. Reykjavík has a beautiful Sculpture & Shore Walk with some of the biggest attractions in the city the Harpa Conference Center and the Sun Voyager sculpture. The shore walk starts from the Old Harbor and the first major stop is the Harpa Conference Center. This is an amazing piece of architecture and I would encourage you to take a step inside to really appreciate this building. From the conference center you can see the famous Sun Voyager sculpture a few minutes walk along the shore. The Sun Voyager (Sólfar) is a beautiful statue in an amazing setting. It represents the dreams of hope, progress, and freedom. As you continue from the Sun Voyager there are several other pieces of art and amazing views of the ocean and mountains! The last stop along the Sculpture & Shore Walk is the Höfði House.This beautiful house is considered to be one of the most historically significant buildings in Reykjavík. It is best known as the location for the summit meeting of presidents Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbatsjov in 1986 that marked the end of the Cold War.
At 1:58 you can see in the distance toward the right of your picture the famous Hallgrímskirkja (Church). Hallgrímskirkja is a Lutheran parish church in Reykjavík. At 73 metres, it is the largest church in Iceland and among the tallest structures in Iceland hence why you can see it tower everything around it.
