Kleifarvatn
Kleifarvatn is a lake on the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland.
It is situated in the south part of the peninsula on the fissure zone of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and can be reached via a track. Its greatest depth is 97 m.
After the big earthquake in 2000, the lake began to diminish. 20% of its surface have since disappeared.
Not far from the lake, two areas with high temperature can be found: Seltún/Krýsuvík and another to the east of the lake.
