Waterfall
Kirkjufell
Kirkjufell’s sharply layered peak rises behind the small cascades of Kirkjufellsfoss on Iceland’s Snæfellsnes peninsula.
From the bank above the upper cascade, frame the falls with Kirkjufell beyond. The short approach is easy, but winter spray freezes the paths: wear microspikes and stay back from the water’s edge. Climbing the mountain is dangerous in any season and banned in winter; summer climbers need proper gear, preferably a local guide. Check wind and road conditions before driving.
