You’ll have seen pictures of this mountain before. Kirkjufell, located in west Iceland, is strangely mystical with its unusual shape protruding out of the landscape seemingly uninvited by the coast surrounding it. The ‘most photographed mountain in Iceland’ attracts thousands of visitors a year to view its unusual formation and beautiful surroundings.
While it’s absolutely worth a visit (there’s a reason it’s so popular), be prepared for crowds. We recommend visiting first thing in the morning to experience the sun rising around the silhouette of this natural phenomenon. Tours frequently operate to Kirkjufell, so it’s easy to get to if you don’t have a car.
