e Snæfellsnes Peninsula in Iceland
———🗺️ Snæfellsnes Peninsula
🚶Route: Reykjavik—Snæfellsnes Peninsula—Reykjavik
✅Reason for arrangement: In addition to the Golden Circle, I recommend another enchanting place for a day trip—Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Located in the west of Iceland, the peninsula boasts a diverse and spectacular landscape, earning it the nickname 'Iceland in Miniature.' Many blockbuster photos and movies have been shot here, featuring glaciers, volcanoes, lava fields, moss, black sand beaches, waterfalls... In just one day, you can fully experience the magic of Iceland, a beauty that is unforgettable for a lifetime.
📝Schedule:
🌞Daytime: Explore Snæfellsnes Peninsula
🌛Evening: Return to Reykjavik
⚪️Kirkjufell (Church Mountain)
The Snæfellsnes Peninsula is a well-known photography spot in Iceland, and the most famous of these is ⛰️ Kirkjufell (also known as Church Mountain), which is 463 meters high. Its shape resembles a straw hat, hence the affectionate nickname 'Straw Hat Mountain.' In summer, the verdant Straw Hat Mountain contrasts with the babbling waterfalls, creating a clear and beautiful picture. In winter, it is also an excellent spot for viewing the Northern Lights, offering a surreal and beautiful scene.
⚪️Djúpalónssandur Black Sand Beach
Rivaling the black sand beaches of Vik in southern Iceland, this place has its own unique black beauty. Birds circle the cliffs, and white waves crash against the black sand, creating a striking contrast. Fans of 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' will recognize that some scenes from the movie were shot here. Walking on the beach, listening to stories of shipwrecks 🚢 and adventures, gives one the illusion of being in a movie 🎬, an unforgettable experience.
⚪️Ytri Tunga Farm
The Snæfellsnes Peninsula is home to many birds, seals, and other wildlife. The beach at Ytri Tunga Farm is a famous gathering place for seals 🦭, not to be missed by animal lovers. Here you can comfortably watch the seals, and their chubby, adorable appearance is quite endearing. On a ☀️ sunny day, you can also enjoy watching them bask in the sun 😎 on the beach 🏖️.
⚪️Arnarstapi Town
Visiting the town, walking along the coastline, you can see basalt formations created by volcanic activity, birds singing around the cliffs, the ebb and flow of sea erosion caves, and colorful 🌈 cottages like something out of a fairy tale world, all so romantic 💕

#2024wish
As wanderlust whispers sweet nothings in my ear and the travel bug tugs at my backpack straps, one wish rises above all others: the magic of affordable adventures. I yearn to swap the mundane for the marvelous, the familiar for the foreign, but not at the cost of an emptied bank account.
Imagine, if you will, the sun-kissed sands of Bali beckoning on a shoestring budget, or picture me scaling the majestic heights of Machu Picchu, fueled by cheap eats and local buses. Perhaps the vibrant alleys of Marrakech await, their intoxicating blend of spices and bartering voices painting a symphony for the senses without breaking the bank.
In 2024, I don't simply wish to travel; I crave to travel smart. To become a budget ninja, navigating flight deals and local transportation like a seasoned pro. To savor the unfamiliar, from the taste of street food to the lilt of languages I don't yet understand, without jeopardizing my financial future.

Indelible moments from Iceland 🇮🇸
Prepare to be enchanted as you witness the breathtaking spectacle of the Northern Lights. Iceland's enchanting landscapes serve as the backdrop to this indelible experience. Let the dancing ribbons of light paint the sky and create memories that will last a lifetime.
Exploring Iceland in summer is a different experience itself, the golden hour is endless till morning, and walking around at crazy hours as 2 or 3 am with soft light is simply magical.
Recommended accommodation in Iceland near the straw hat mountain
accommodation name
[Face Travel] Iceland is a super place for portraits - Sinai Peninsula
Iceland's Sinai Peninsula, in addition to the world-famous photography site - straw hat mountain, there are various good churches and lighthouses, all A great place to shoot portraits! Of course, there are also many lighthouses and churches on the way from Iceland's second largest city, Akureyri, to the Sinai Peninsula. Don't miss it!
Iceland in snow and ice is really beautiful, although the road conditions are not very good everywhere, but it is worthwhile to see such a beautiful view! When I first came to Iceland, I felt that the weather was not good, and the wind was very big. I once collapsed because I was wet four times a day. I didnt expect it to get better in the future, and I was so sad when I left! Maybe next time, come back in the summer!
Send you a mobile phone screensaver from Iceland
I have seen the hustle and bustle of the motherland, the bleakness of the Scottish mountains, the snowy mountains of the Alps, and the magic of the Ayers boulder in Australia. I thought that almost all the types of mountains have been basically seen, but when I faced the raised mountains on the extremely cold land of Iceland, I suddenly raised awe. What I fear is that it is so desolate, you can also see such a mountain with vitality, and there is a strong moss on the mountain. They sprout in the summer, and then wither and turn yellow in autumn, and the winter will be covered with snow for a long time, and it will start again and again, but it will also create the special tundra landform and mountain posture of Iceland.
How to shoot?
1 The most famous here is the straw hat mountain (also called Sna Mountain) in Figure 1. This shape needs to be taken in front of the river to have the shape of a straw hat. The waterfall in front of the creek can be used as a foreground, with a slow door and a light-reducing mirror to capture the smooth flow of water. Remember to take a picture vertically and you can do a mobile screen saver later.
2 Because the latitude is high and the cloud is particularly low, you may want to find a suitable angle to pat the mountain with a cloud hat.
3 Friends with aircraft can also let others use the background of the mountains to pat your photo with the aircraft. I find it very interesting. Of course, the area where the no-fly zone sign is written cannot fly.
4 Of course, the most classic is sitting at the top of the small waterfall, taking a photo with the lovely straw hat mountain.
Another Icelandic landmark
must be reported by the straw hat mountain.
Icelandic Kirkjufell is located near the small town of Grundarfjordur in Iceland, on the Snaefellsnes. Its name translated into English is 'Church Mountain'
The Sna Mountain Peninsula in western Iceland is known as the epitome of Iceland. Alpine seas, fairy churches, cliffs, tundra waterfalls, etc. are all here. If you don't have a long holiday around Iceland, you can take a deep tour on the Sinai Peninsula. After all, it shows almost all the landscapes of Iceland, and not far from the capital, it is super convenient!
The two most interesting lighthouses
Skysholm Lighthouse, which looks like a postal super cute lighthouse, overlooks the town and the bay.
coordinates: sugandisey
Svortuloft lighthouse
In the early morning, the town of Glendafjord is very beautiful, facing the snowy mountains and heading for the bay. There are few people on the street coming and going, especially quiet, renting a small villa and living here for a life of isolation.
Walter jumped into the sea in "Daydreamer", the ship arrived at the port of Iceland and the crew grabbed the bicycle, which happened in this town.
Iceland is not the same as other places. Even if it is a filming place, it has not become a popular tourist destination, waiting quietly for visitors to discover.
Iceland Aurora season chasing Aurora notes Raiders
how to see the Aurora in Iceland? Please read this note carefully
First of all, Iceland is the only country in the country to see the aurora, the season of the aurora is the earliest from the middle of August to the end of March.
URL: en.vedur.is/weather/forcasts/aurora
0-9, indicating the aurora intensity index. If the auroral intensity index shows level 2, and the part of the map is white, the white indicates sunny, and the green indicates the cloud layer covered, that is, in the white area, the aurora can be observed with the naked eye. The cloud layer will move in real time, so basically, as long as you see the auroral index on the right side is greater than or equal to 2, you can see the stars when you look up at night, then the probability of seeing the aurora on this day is enormous.
Of course not as long as you can see at night, the so-called lucky is that Aurora will appear at any time, if you wait all night, it should be able to see, if you just waited for an hour then maybe Empty and so on. In general, there is hope in the first half of the night to see the aurora.
TIPS: Although the location of the aurora is unpredictable, after many times I have been searching for aurora, the probability of aurora appearing near the North Star is high.
Recommended Aurora viewing area: Straw Hat Mountain, Glacier Lake, Bat Mountain, ION ADVENTURE Hotel, vik Town Church
Church Hill Kirkjufell, because the shape of the frontal look is like a straw hat, and is called the straw hat mountain by domestic friends. There is a parking lot along the road between the Straw Hat Mountain and the waterfall, and this iconic viewing position can be reached by taking a few minutes along the trail of the waterfall.
At a glance, you can see the Kirkijufellsfoss, on the other side of the road, across the road from the Church Hill. I can see a lot of photographers, holding a row of tripods around this position. The best shooting position is on the edge of the church on the edge of a cascade of waterfall streams, very easy to find. Basically it is a must-shoot angle. Of course, don't patronize such a position, if time permits, try to find somewhere else.
