This arrowhead mountain is actually called Kirkjufell, but it is often referred to as “The Game of Thrones Mountain”, not only because of the iconic scenes in series seven but also because foreign visitors in Iceland find it really difficult to pronounce Icelandic place names.
It is often said that Kirkjufell is the most photographed mountain in Iceland, and with its isolated position and distinct shape, it is easy to see why. The 463-metre tall mountain has a sharp top, long, curved sides and at the base, visitors can find a lake which on clear days reflects a perfect mirror image of the mountain.

There is also a small but stunning three-pronged waterfall nearby which photographers love to capture on film, framing the majestic Kirkjufell mountain in the background.

Kirkjufell is located near the fishing town of Grundarfjörður on the northern side of Snæfellsnes, a peninsula famed for its diverse attractions. Aside from the stunning Kirkjufell mountain, you can find black pebble beaches, silvery waterfalls, rugged cliffs, and a majestic glacier, on this 90 km stretch of land.
