The only supplies in the area are in the towns on the north coast of the peninsula. Allow plenty of time to visit the western tip, as the interesting sites are all 2 to 3km off the main road, and usually down a hill. The road around the tip is now mostly paved apart from about 20km.he road now becomes a bit rougher, though still easily rideable, as it gradually climbs up through lavafields to about 1200m, which probably makes it the highest road in Iceland. About 12km from Gaesavoetn gÃ¦savÃ¶tn it comes to a small glacial outwash zone just 500m from the face Of. vatnajoekull vatnajÃ¶kull
