- Kirkjufell Mountain - Known as Iceland’s most famous mountain, Kirkjufell, along with the nearby Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall, is a perfect spot for photography. Well-maintained pathways allow for easy exploration and appreciation of the natural beauty.
- Snaefellsjokull National Park & Glacier - Located on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in western Iceland, Snæfellsjökull National Park is celebrated for its stunning landscapes and geological features. Established in 2001, the park is dominated by the Snæfellsjökull volcano, capped by a glacier and famously featured in Jules Verne’s Journey to the Center of the Earth. The park boasts rugged coastlines, lava fields, and diverse flora and fauna, offering hiking trails and breathtaking views. It also includes cultural and historical sites, such as ancient fishing villages and Viking settlements, making it a popular destination for nature and history enthusiasts.
- Dritvik and Djupalonssandur - Visit the black sand beach of Djúpalónssandur, rich in history. Once a bustling fishing area, the sea is now empty as boats have moved elsewhere. All that remains are the wreckage of a British trawler on the black sands and several ‘lifting stones’ that were used to test the strength of potential fishermen. You can try your hand at lifting them to see if you would have made the cut!
- Lóndrangar View Point - These magnificent rock formations, standing 75 and 61 meters tall, rise out of the Arctic Ocean. These two rock pinnacles, volcanic plugs of basalt, are a stunning natural wonder.
- Arnarstapi Center and Snjófell Restaurant - Arnarstapi is a charming Icelandic fishing village with a rich history dating back to the Viking era. Enjoy a breathtaking walk along the coastline with impressive sea cliffs populated by a variety of seabirds. The area is perfect for photography and experiencing the raw beauty of Iceland.
- Ytri Tunga Beach - Unlike Djúpalónssandur, this beach features the golden sand more familiar to visitors from overseas. Ytri Tunga is notable for the seal colonies that can be seen lounging on the rocks just offshore.
- Budakirkja - The Budir Black Church is a striking little church set in a desolate landscape. It’s a popular subject for photographers, and you’ll have a chance to capture it during this short photo stop.
