Peaks and Glaciers

The Tröllaskagi Peninsula in Northern Iceland features some of the country's highest elevations outside the central highlands. This collection highlights the basaltic peaks and valley glaciers of Dalvíkurbyggð, specifically concentrated around Svarfaðardalur and Skíðadalur. These landforms, shaped by intense glaciation, consist of deep troughs and sharp ridges reaching over 1,000 meters, providing a rare landscape where alpine peaks meet the Greenland Sea.
