Only 2 kilometres off the Reykjanesbraut road, the motocross field is a distinct location, characterized by its large, rough concrete structures with graffiti and an encompassing moor that stretches towards the horizon, with fields of lava and smoke from geothermal areas in the background. Beside the ageing and abandoned building lies a well-trodden motocross strip with containers and other industrial-looking materials, contributing to the area’s unique charm. This location, with its open space and various viewpoints, offers a versatile environment that can suit different productions and is easily accessed and navigated to find just the right perspective.
