On this day venture into one of the most exciting and famous places in Iceland, Snæfellsnes Peninsula, where Julus Verne found inspiration for his book “Journey to the Center of the Earth”. 

Kirkjufell mountain, located on the northern side of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, is one of the most picturesque mountains in Iceland, and the Kirkjufell waterfall in the vicinity makes a wonderful nature stop.

Djúpalónssandur black beach is a bay at the tip of Snæfellsnes Peninsula. The black small pebbles on the beach have been smoothed by the ocean waves, and amongst them are scattered rusty parts of a wreckage of a ship that was stranded in the area in 1948. In the old days, fishermen used to test their strength by lifting heavy rocks, that still lie there. Heaviest is Fullsterkur (“full strength”), weighing 154 kg, next is Hálfsterkur (“half strength”) weighing 100 kg, hálfdrættingur (“weakling”) weighing 54 kg and Amlóði (“Useless”) 23 kg. They were traditionally used to qualify men for work on fishing boats, with the Hálfdrættingur being the minimum weight a man would have to lift onto a ledge at hip height to qualify.

Lóndrangar cliffs are volcanic plugs of basalt, between 61 and 75 metres in height, that have been formed by the erosion of the surrounding material.

Vatnshellir lava cave is a lava tube in an 8000-year lava field. The lava was formed in an eruption in a nearby crater Purkhólar. During the eruption the lava flowed downhill, cooling down on the surface while still running below, ultimately draining out and leaving a beautiful lava tube, which is now accessible Hellnar and Arnarstapi are small and ancient fishing villages. Hellnar beach has amazing rock formations which will be visited.
