Snaefellsnes Peninsula

スナイフェルスネス半島の山々

Icelandic Peaks and Calderas

The Snæfellsnes Peninsula contains a diverse collection of geological formations, ranging from the iconic basalt layers of Kirkjufell to the rhyolite slopes of Drápuhlíðarfjall. This selection includes the historic Helgafell, ancient volcanic craters like Syðri-Rauðamelskúlur, and the pyramidal Stapafell near the Snæfellsjökull glacier. These sites showcase Iceland's volcanic history through distinct caldera rims, scoria cones, and erosion-carved ridges that define the region's rugged skyline.
