Kirkjufell (Icelandic: Church Mountain, 463 m high) mountain and the north coast of Snæfellsnes peninsula, Iceland.
This beautiful landmark is the most photographed mountain in Iceland. Its isolated position jutting out into the sea makes it a focal point for tourists and seamen alike. Surrounded by beaches, Kirkjufell has a lovely walking trail around it as well as a more challenging climb up to the top where bird and fish fossils can be found.
The church at Vík is one of the most famous in Iceland as it is the centrepiece of the town Vík, a popular spot to visit on Iceland’s South Coast. The church is also the meeting place should there be any volcanic activity if the dreaded Katla should start rumbling.
It has even been predicted that in the case of Katla erupting, Víkurkirkja would be the only building to survive the subsequent flash floods from the melting of Iceland’s fourth largest glacier, Mýrdalsjökull.
The Vík i Myrdal Church on the South Coast in Vík, Iceland. It's located on the Ring Road. #Iceland #Vík #SouthCoast #VíkiMyrdalChurch #church
This is my favourite pano from the Jökulsárlón glacier lake at Iceland. The still water shows nice reflections of the ice and there is a tranquility in the scenery, that I like very much.
