Hvalsneskirkja Church is about 6 kilometres south of Sandgerði Town (Sandgerdi) on the tip of the Reykjanes Peninsula. Not far away to the east is Keflavík International Airport.
Hvalsneskirkja was consecrated in 1887, built from stone from the sea-cliffs and the wood from the shores nearby. It is now preserved as one of the most picturesque and iconic churches in the region.
Rev. Hallgrímur Pétursson, one of Iceland’s most cherished poets, served there as a priest during his first years of priesthood, from 1644–1651. Inside are the church’s most priced possessions, namely the tombstone of Rev. Pétursson’s daughter, Steinunn Hallgrímsdóttir, who was only 4 years old when she died. The tombstone, made by the poet and clergyman himself, was found in 1964 among the stones in the steps outside the church. In 1945, the church was extensively renovated under the supervision of Iceland’s State Architect.

The gorge derives its name from a tragedy that happened a long time ago. Rauðfeldur and Helga were cousins. They were playing on the beach one day when Helga must have climbed onto an iceberg. Rauðfeldur then pushed the iceberg so hard that it drifted away from the beach and brought Helga to Greenland. Helga’s father, Bárður Snæfellsás was part human and part giant. He was so angry with Rauðfeldur because he thought Helga had perished, so he picked up Rauðfeldur under his arm and threw him into the gorge.

Digiral Nikon D3200. January Kotströnd Ölfus Iceland.
Kotstrandarkirkja Church is located midway between Hveragerði Town and Selfoss Town in South Iceland, as close as it can be to the side of the Ring Road, and therefore sometimes referred to as “the church by the side of the road”.
Built in 1909 and made of timber, Kotstrandarkirkja Church is around 85m2 and seats 200 people. It was consecrated in November 1909, replacing two older churches in the area.
What makes it stand out, apart from the fact that it is literally standing by the roadside, is how beautiful it is, both on the outside and especially on the inside, so a short visit is highly recommended. Text: tripcreator.com

Digital Nikon D3200. June 2015.
Brimketill (Surf Kettle) is an extraordinary geological feature on the south-west coast of Iceland, 5 km west of Grindavík Town. It looks like a big and cozy man-made bath tub on the seaboard, but it is in fact a natural wonder, a magnificent lava rock formation. The foaming cauldron is one of the most popular attractions on the Reykjanes Peninsula, and it is roused to frothing fury by the ebb and flow of the rising tide.
Brimketill was formed by the constant beating of the waves from the Atlantic Ocean crashing on the lava rock coast. The waves have gradually rounded off the rocks, forming in the end this amazing natural kettle. Brimketill measures two metres in depth at its deepest point, and the bottom is rather flat and smooth to touch. Bear in mind that the kettle is not for bathing. You can sit down on the cliff and just enjoy looking at the ocean and the surrounding wildlife, listening to the breaking of the waves. This is a perfect place for you to de-stress and clear your mind of worry.
This is an impressive place to stand and watch the ocean waves breaking on the rocky cliffs, but care is needed when exploring the area. You should also take caution when crossing the rough lava to reach Brimketill, as it can be difficult to tread.
Brimketill is also known as Oddnýjarlaug (Oddny’s Pool). Oddný was a giantess that regularly visited the pool for bathing. Text: tripcreator.com

Laugardælakirkja Church (Laugardaelakirkja) is located just outside and to the north of Selfoss Town in South Iceland, on the banks of Ölfusá River.
Built and consecrated in 1965, this stately concrete church is 300 m2 and seats 70. Originally built by the siblings of a deceased brother and given to the congregation, a very generous gift indeed, it now serves as a parish church.
In earlier times, this area was among the most travelled in the whole of Iceland, as the ferry across Ölfusá River crossed the river there. Today, Laugardælakirkja Church, or in fact its cemetery, is probably most famous for being the final resting place of the world famous, but somewhat controversial and colourful, world chess champion from the USA, Mr Bobby Fischer (1943–2008), who became an Icelandic citizen in 2005.
Laugardælakirkja is located just outside Selfoss Town, the largest town in South Iceland and an important service centre for the area. The region is probably the most important agricultural area in Iceland, producing most of the country’s vegetables and dairy products. Tourism is also a very important trade in this region, with the Ring Road going straight through Selfoss Town, which means that everyone going onwards along the south coast to the east has to drive through town. Therefore, most of the tourists visiting Iceland literally have to visit Selfoss Town, and you should definitely make a stop there and take a look around this beautiful town in the heart of South Iceland.

Mosfellskirkja in Grímsnes is located about 7 kilometres southwest of Reykholt Village and 35 kilometres northeast of Selfoss Town on the Golden Circle route in South Iceland. Mosfellskirkja in Grímsnes, a small, black and beautiful county church, was built in 1848 but rebuilt and consecrated again in 1979. Text: Tripcreator.is

Lögmannshlíðarkirkja Church (Logmannshlidarkirkja) is located at the foot of Hlíðarfjall Mountain, which towers over Akureyri Town to the west, in North Iceland.
Once a typical county church, Lögmannshlíðarkirkja Church is now at the edge of the bustling Akureyri Town, the largest town in North Iceland. Consecrated in 1860, this small and somewhat typical county church is made of timber and is still in use for the occasional services, weddings and funerals. It served as a parish church until 2002, when the new Glerárkirkja Church, larger and more modern, was built in Akureyri. Text: tripcreator.com

Húsavíkurkirkja Church is located in the centre of Húsavík Town in North Iceland; this beautiful town by the Skjalfandaflói Bay is sometimes referred to as the “Whale Watching Capital of Europe” – if not the world, according to some modest locals. Needless to say, across the street from the church, you will find the entrance to the whale watching boats departing many times a day for a short trip to the waters west of town for a date with the world’s largest mammals.
Húsavíkurkirkja Church is by many considered to be among the most beautiful churches in Iceland. This colourful church, made of timber, was built in 1907 and is truly the landmark of Húsavík Town. Text: tripcreator.com

Garðakirkja Church (Gardakirkja) is located on the small Álftanes Peninsula, midway between Hafnarfjörður Town (Hafnarfjordur) and Álftanes Town, in the Capital Area.
Built on what is supposed to be the oldest church site in Iceland, according to old documents, Garðakirkja Church is made of stone taken from the surrounding area. It was consecrated in 1880, and although it has faced all kinds of troubles through the years, such as the threat of being sold to the highest bidder, it is still standing. Garðar (Gardur), meaning Gardens, from which the church derives its name, is according to old documents believed to be among the earliest settlements in Iceland. In fact, it was the son of Ingólfur Arnarson, the first settler in Iceland and the one who originally found the island, who settled at Garðar and built his farm. The first church dates back to the first years of Christianity in Iceland, and it is one of the oldest church sites in the country. Garðakirkja Church therefore maybe deserves to be labelled a Saga site. Text: tripcreator.com
