Album: Iceland Day 4

We started Day four at Kirkjufellsfoss – a waterfall at the base of the most photographed mountain in Iceland: Kirkjufelll. As we headed off the Snæfellsnes peninsula we saw a huge roadside sign for Bjarnarhöfn Shark Museum… so we made a pit stop and learned all about the history of Greenland shark hunting in Iceland. (Did you know the oil from this shark was once highly sought after in Europe because it burned “cleaner” than other oils?). Then it was on to Selvallafoss, aka Sheep’s Waterfall. An unassuming but beautiful waterfall off the side of the road. The rest of the day was spent navigating some of the craziest roads I’ve ever been on as we headed north into the Fjordlands of Iceland.
