Kirkjufell

The most photographed mountain in Iceland

Kirkjufell (Church Mountain) is a 463m high mountain on the north coast of Iceland's Snæfellsnes peninsula, near the town of Grundarfjörður. The mountain is popular with photographers in Iceland thanks to its unusual shape. From some angles it appears to be broad and flat topped, but when viewed from the south it is strikingly thin, coming to a point at the top, like a fin.

The surrounding area, including Kirkjufoss, are also spectacular for hikers and photographers alike.
