Eldvorp is a crater row of scoria and spatter cones located northwest of Grindavik on the Reykjanes peninsula.
The area has extensive geothermal activity, emanating steam of about 280 degrees Celsius. The lava from the crater row is one of the most extensive Holocene lava flows on the Reykjanes Peninsula, covering about 20 km2. In former times, local women would bake their bread in the warm steam of Eldvorp.
