Nothing in sight but lava fields and mountains ⛰️ . . . . #snaefellsnes #snaefellsnespeninsula #ig_iceland #travelgram #travelphotography #ig_travel #visiticeland #icelandtrip #tripiniceland #exploreiceland #wheniniceland #icelandphotography #ondverdarnes #öndverðarnes #icelandadventure #icelandicnature #icelandroadtrip #icelandscape #icelandnature

The Öndverðarnes Lighthouse is as in the middle of nowhere as I remember ever having been. It is at the very tippy tip of the northwestern corner of the Snæfellsnes peninsula, completely surrounded by moss-covered lava fields as far as the eye can see 🧡 . . . . #öndverðarnes #ondverdarnes #öndverðarneslighthouse #ondverdarneslighthouse #lighthouse #snaefellsnes #snaefellsnespeninsula #ig_iceland #travelgram #visiticeland #icelandtrip #tripiniceland #exploreiceland #wheniniceland #icelandphotography #icelandadventure #icelandroadtrip

Skarðsvík beach is extraordinary in its color, as most of the beaches in Iceland are of volcanic black, like Reynisfjara. There’s a nearby Viking burial site where a young man was buried alongside his weapons and other earthly possessions. I can’t blame whoever buried him for choosing this as his resting place 🌊 . . . . #skarðsvík #skardsvik #skardsvikbeach #snaefellsnes #snaefellsnespeninsula #ig_iceland #travelgram #visiticeland #icelandtrip #tripiniceland #exploreiceland #wheniniceland #icelandphotography #icelandadventure #icelandicnature #icelandroadtrip #icelandscape #icelandnature

How gorgeous is this view? I'm sharing some pictures today of our time in the Snæfellsnes Peninsula on the blog, link in bio 🙌 . . . #londrangar #londrangarcliffs #londrangarviewpoint #snaefellsnes #snaefellsnespeninsula #ig_iceland #travelgram #visiticeland #icelandtrip #tripiniceland #exploreiceland #wheniniceland #icelandphotography #icelandadventure #icelandicnature #icelandroadtrip #icelandscape #icelandnature

Búðakirkja was originally built in 1703, but was eventually torn down due to a lack of parishioners, causing the parish of Búðir itself to be abolished in 1816. Steinunn Sveinsdóttir fought strongly for a new church, though the national church rejected her request. In 1848, she finally obtained royal permission to build a new church, and the door bears the quote, “This church was built in 1848 without the support of the spiritual fathers.” Steinunn is now buried in the graveyard by the church ⚰️ . It was newly rebuilt in 1984-86, consecrated in 1987, and is now officially protected, being one of the oldest wooden churches in the country 💒 . . . #budir #budakirkja #snaefellsnes #snaefellsnespeninsula #ig_iceland #travelgram #visiticeland #icelandtrip #tripiniceland #exploreiceland #wheniniceland #icelandphotography #icelandadventure #icelandroadtrip #icelandscape
