About Snæfellsnes Peninsula
The Snæfellsnes Peninsula is Jules Verne's 'Journey to the Center of the Earth' territory: the Snæfellsjökull glacier crowns a volcanic mountain at the peninsula's tip, and the landscape feels like the Earth's raw throat. Black sand beaches, basalt columns, hidden coves, and a wildness that only occasionally concedes to tourism create one of Iceland's most dramatic and least touristy regions.
