We continue through the fishing villages of Ólafsvík, Rif Hellissandur and around the west edge of Snaefellsnes.  The landscape is characterised with sandy beaches, rocky shoreline and jagged mountains, crowned by the mysterious shimmering cone of the Snæfellsjökull glacier, starting point for Jules Verne´s Journey to the Centre of the Earth.

At Djupalonssandur we take a short hike to the impressive shoreline with its strange rock formations. Afterwards we will continue onwards to Londrangar where the two prominent rocks jut out from the ground, just east of the lighthouse at Malarrif on the southern side of the Snaefellsnes peninsula, and onwards to Arnarstapia. 

Arnarstapia is a small fishing village with a harbour surrounded by cliffs, considered by some to be the most beautiful harbour in Iceland.  Hiking starts at the harbourside, and will initially hug the cliff side, in an effort to sight and photograph one of the largest flock of seabird societies in Iceland.  The hike ends at the mighty memorial of Bardur Snaefellsas.  

A continuation of the drive leads us to Budir, where a lunch stop is made at the Hotel Budir; before a short walk to the hauntingly beautiful church and one of the rare golden beaches in Iceland.  From Budir, the drive continues over the Frodarheidi Heath, well-known in the past for one of the most haunted areas in Iceland and returning back to Grundarfjordur in the late afternoon.
