What to expect?
This beautiful part of our island sits on the other side of the Faxaflói Bay, to the North West of Reykjavik, and is a location that any diehard fan of Iceland should be adding to their list of things to see. Not only does this location have black sand beaches, but it also has a lot of charm that will surely win your heart.
It's difficult not to recommend a trip around this part of Iceland to anyone visiting the country as, no matter what your tastes are as a traveler, it is almost guaranteed to have something you will enjoy.
Literature fans will recognize many locations from the Jules Verne novel 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth,' alongside the inspired film in 2008, also called 'Journey to the Center of the Earth' starring Brendan Fraser, using the real Snæfellsjökull volcano in the film.

Mt. Kirkjufell
Snæfellsjökull National Park
Djúpalónssandur beach
