1Kirkjufell Mountain
Kirkjufell means "Church mountain". It is a stand-alone mountain located in a bay near the fishing village of Grundarfjörður. It is actually the most photographed mountain in Iceland, and you will understand why when you will get the chance to capture that mountain and the nearby waterfall within a single picture. Mount Kirkjufell became even more famous than it used to be after being featured in the tv show: Game of Thrones, where it is referred to as: The "arrow head mountain".

From the stones lying on the beach that were used to test the strength of the aspirant fishermen to the rusty remains of shipwrecks scattered all over the place, Djúpalónssandur is full of history
