The drive alone is worth it. Stark mountains, spooky lava flows, the Sandur (basically a miles long plain of black lava sand and lava flows that is totally otherworldly). Black sand beaches. Just drive and stop the car on the side whenever you see something cool.
There's a nice national park along the route where you can hike up to glaciers, and still later there is a sea inlet where a glacier calves off some small chunks. It features in dozens of movies and commercials -- there are hundreds of bllue ice bergs floating in this inlet. Beautiful, and about 5 degrees C cooler than ambient temperature because of the icy water.
If you have access to a good 4wd, some trips into the interior roads might be in order.
Iceland is spectacular.
