Snæfells is a little peninsula on the west of Iceland, around 190 km away from Reykjavík. Given the roads in the island (70 Km/h at most) and its population density, the place is basically in what I’d call the middle of nowhere. There are no major villages on the way — except for the fishing village Stykkishólmur (1,100 inhabitants), an early trading post in the XVI century. Nothing… except the entrance to the center of Earth. Or, at least, that’s according to Jules Verne’s A Journey to the Center of Earth (1864).
