Langárfoss

Langárfoss is a small roadside waterfall found just downstream of where Route 54 crosses the Langá just outside the town of Borgarnes. The falls drop about 9 feet where the river makes a sharp Z-shaped bend around and through a protrusion of volcanic rock, splitting into several channels as it does so. On the far side of the falls a fish ladder has been blasted into the bedrock to accommodate fish passage, resulting in a portion of the river always being diverted away from the natural part of the falls.

Staðastaðarkirkja

The church at Staðastaður on the Snæfellsnes peninsula in Iceland was built in 1945.

Kirkjufell

Kirkjufell, or 'Church Mountain', is a distinctly shaped peak found on the north shore of Iceland’s Snæfellsnes Peninsula, only a short distance away from the town of Grundarfjörður. It is often called ‘the most photographed mountain in Iceland’, due to its dramatic formation and perfect coastal location. Peaking at 463 metres, 1519 feet, Kirkjufell is an impressive landmark. Throughout the centuries, Kirkjufell’s striking slopes have acted as a visual landmark for seafarers and travellers. Within walking distance from Kirkjufell is the serene and perfectly located waterfall Kirkjufellsfoss, or 'Church Mountain Falls', an excellent subject for photographers who can easily frame the mountain in the background. Despite its relatively diminutive height, Kirkjufellsfoss’ three-steps, gentle flow, and dramatic differences between seasons make it as impressive as some of Iceland’s larger waterfalls.
