Keflavík Iceland DLC: Discover the Gateway to Iceland

Halló og velkomin til Keflavík! In today’s blog, the team at SCS Software takes a closer look at this beautiful and historic town. Located on the Reykjanes Peninsula, Keflavík will be explorable in the upcoming Iceland DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2. Ready to see more? Let’s hit the road.

Keflavík: Iceland’s International Gateway

For millions of travellers each year, Keflavík marks both the beginning and end of their journey in Iceland. The town is home to the Reykjavík–Keflavík Airport, the country’s main international hub, located just outside the town. The team made sure to include this key location as an industry, as it handles a large share of the island’s cargo. Drivers headed for the airport will see the terminal in the distance before being directed to the cargo terminal, where they will pick up or deliver jobs. The Keflavík Iceland DLC captures this vital transport hub with authentic detail.

A Town Shaped by Sea and Sky

As drivers head towards Keflavík itself, they will enter a town shaped by both coastal industry and modern travel. Historically, Keflavík grew as a fishing community in the 16th century, with strong ties to the sea that still influence the area today. Over time, its role expanded alongside the development of the airport, turning it into a key hub and destination on the Reykjanes Peninsula.

In-game, drivers will find a range of industries to deliver to and from. These include a shipyard, a car dealer, and a supermarket, along with a fuel station and a service point. While these locations technically sit within the neighbouring town of Njarðvík in real life, the two form part of the wider municipality of Reykjanesbær, together with the village of Hafnir.

Road Network and Connections

While the road network here is not very complex, it plays an important role in connecting the island. From the airport, drivers can either head into Keflavík itself or follow Route 41 straight towards Reykjavík. This is one of the main links across the peninsula, making it a vital route for cargo transport.

A Landscape of Fire and Ice

Life here is mostly peaceful, but the landscape of Iceland, and the Reykjanes Peninsula in particular, is constantly changing. As many may know, Iceland sits on an active geological boundary, with volcanic activity becoming more frequent in recent years. Efforts to keep eruptions and lava flows away from towns and infrastructure remain ongoing, but the surrounding terrain continues to be shaped by these powerful forces.

Landmarks and Art Installations

Drivers can find a few landmarks around the area too, including art installations with various sculptures. The team is sure you will enjoy taking in the sights as you deliver around this historic town. The Keflavík Iceland DLC offers a unique blend of natural wonder and human history.
