Our first stop of the day is at Berserkjahraun. This moss covered lava field is the remnant of an eruption from the nearby Bjarnarhafnafjall mountain over 4000 years ago. The scale of the lava fields really attests to the power and influence of volcanoes on the Icelandic landscape.Berserkjahraun literally translates as the lava field of the frenzied warriors. The berserk warriors if you will. This reflects the fury that must have been unleashed here all those years ago when the mountain blew its top.
Mountain Kirkjufell or the church mountain is perhaps the most photographed mountain in Iceland.This 463 m mass looms over the nearby fishing village of Grunðarfjörður. Its distinct arrowhead shape has inspired both professional and amateur photographers for years. A classic snap is Kirkjufell with the northern lights shimmering above. It recently came to prominence internationally by featuring as the Arrowhead mountain in one of the later seasons of the hit TV show “Game of Thrones”.The mountain was part of the scenes north of the wall’ when Jon Snow, The Hound, and Jorah Mormont seek to capture an undead wight.
The iconic vista of Kirkjufell is taken from this location and features the falls in the foreground which really sells the scale of the looming mountain in the background. The waterfall is a three pronged waterfall fed by glacial meltwaters from the nearby Snæfellsjökull glacier. A small path takes you around the area for a great view of the falls and Mt Kirkjufell from all angles.
