Snæfellsnes Iceland's Magical Peninsula 🇮🇸
Wandering Sophia
🇮🇸 The Snæfellsnes Peninsula is one of the most magical places in Iceland, maybe the world!
😍 It’s visually stunning, with lava fields, a massive volcano domed by a glacier, waterfalls, and a fairytale mountain.
👍 It’s less visited by tourists than more popular areas like the Golden Circle and Iceland's South Coast.
🚗 This self-paced road trip can be completed in two days:
👉 Or you can rush through the highlights in a single day.
✌️ Suggest at least two full days to linger and truly enjoy all that the Snæfellsnes peninsula has to offer.
