The landscape is characterized by sandy beaches, rocky shoreline and jagged mountains, crowned by the shimmering Snaefellsjokull glacier, featured in Jules Verne's novel "Journey to the Center of the Earth."

Our first stop is at Djupalonssandur, where we hike to impressively strange rock formations alone the shore. We continue past Londrangar-two prominent rocks protruding from the coast just east of the lighthouse at Malarrif-to Arnarstapi. There, we start a walk from the town's beautiful harbor, which is surrounded by cliffs and considered by many the most beautiful in Iceland. We follow the cliff's sides, where we may examine and photograph one of Iceland's largest seabird colonies up close.

The walk ends at the stone memorial to Bardur Snaefellsas, protector of Snaefellsnes. We continue to Budir, where we enjoy a walk to the local church and a rare yellow-sand beach. Drive back over the
Frodarheidi Heath, once regarded as one of Iceland's most haunted areas enroute to Grundarfjordur.
