Description
Iceland : Kirkjufell mountain and Kirkjufellfoss (falls) in Snæfellsnes peninsula, near the town of Grundarfjörður. Kirkjufell is known as the arrowhead mountain in Game of Thrones.
Kirkjufell literally means “church mountain” in Icelandic. It is a 463 m high mountain on the north coast of Iceland's Snæfellsnes peninsula, near the town of Grundarfjörður. Kirkjufell contains volcanic rock, but is not a volcano. It is a former nunatak, a mountain that protruded above the glaciers surrounding it during the Ice Age. A true icon of Iceland, Kirkjufell Mountain, with its pyramidal shape which sits on a peninsula, surrounded by multiple beaches. and the nearby presence of the pretty 16-meter-high waterfall named Kirkjufellsfoss flowing into a small lake close to the sea, is quite a magical place.
Iceland is a volcanically and geologically active island in the North Atlantic Ocean, just outside the Arctic Circle. It is the most sparsely populated country in Europe. Many fjords punctuate Iceland's coastline, which is also where most settlements are situated. The island's interior, the Highlands of Iceland, is a cold and uninhabitable combination of sand, mountains, glaciers and lava fields.

Breathtaking!
Olivier Parent replied:
Thank you very much for your comment Adeline! Early morning (in this case very early) is a precious moment to photograph places such as Kirkjufell with a beautiful warm light hitting the falls and absolutely no other human being in the area. Fortunately, the weather was clear that day.
