Kirkjufell is a 463 meters high mountain on the Snaefellsnes peninsula. Because of its very unique shape, it is probably the most photographed and iconic mountain in Iceland. Right in front of Kirkjufell you find a series of waterfalls, called Kirkjufellsfoss. The composition of the waterfall together with the unique-shaped Kirkjufell in the background make this landscape so magical and photogenic
