Discover one of Iceland’s most photographed natural landmarks: Kirkjufell Mountain, located on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.

Often called “Church Mountain” because of its distinctive shape, Kirkjufell rises sharply above the surrounding landscape with a near-perfect, symmetrical form. Its dramatic presence, combined with nearby waterfalls and changing light, makes it one of the most recognizable mountains in Iceland.

Pronunciation:
Kirkjufell → KEER-kya-fetl

Kirkjufell gained global fame after appearing in the TV series Game of Thrones, but its beauty goes far beyond pop culture. Formed by ancient volcanic activity and shaped by glaciers, the mountain reflects the powerful forces that created Iceland.

Whether seen under the midnight sun or the northern lights, Kirkjufell feels timeless, calm, and unforgettable.

Perfect for photographers, nature lovers, and travelers exploring the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.

Explore one of Iceland’s most dramatic and historic beaches: Djúpalónssandur Black Sand Beach, located on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.

This rugged black pebble beach is shaped by powerful Atlantic waves and surrounded by volcanic cliffs and lava formations. Scattered across the shore are rusted remains of the British fishing trawler Epine GY7, which was shipwrecked here in 1948 — a quiet reminder of the ocean’s strength.

Pronunciation:
Djúpalónssandur → DYOO-pa-lohn-sahn-dur

For centuries, this area was an important fishing site. Stone lifting weights can still be seen on the beach, once used to test the strength of fishermen before they were allowed to work at sea.

Wild, remote, and deeply atmospheric, Djúpalónssandur feels untouched by time — where nature, history, and legend meet.

Perfect for photographers, history lovers, and travelers exploring Iceland’s powerful coastal landscapes.
