Fire & Ice: a pandemic escape to Iceland - part 3 - Snæfellsnes Peninsula

Snæfellsnes Peninsula

 

Proved to be as worthwhile as the recommendation of Palli led us to believe. The many beaches, coves, and steep ranges were stunning, and we found many treasures to appreciate, from the walk to the Elsborg crater, through the tiny café at Ytri Tunga beach, Gerðuberg Cliffs, Rauðfeldsgjá Gorge, the black beach at Djúpalónssandur, Hellissandur murals, Öndverðarnes point, Skarðsvík beach, and up to the highest point at the glacier-topped Snæfellsjökull. From here we explored  Kirkjufellsfoss on our way east and left the peninsula on our way to the Westfjords – perceived as the remotest area of Iceland.
