" Just up the road from Öndverðarnes, you will run into these orange lighthouses that guard the shore. But another draw is the sea cliffs - a fantastic bird watching spot and possibly spot a whale surfacing in summer. Time: 15 minutes Rating: 3/5 Crowds: few Vehicle: accessible with 2wd, but it's a very bumpy road and is not maintained in the winter so I wouldn't risk attempting it November-March. Parking: small lots - you can walk between the two but I suggest driving. Amenities: none"

"Svörtuloft marks the westernmost point on the Snæfellsnes peninsula. It's hard to miss the bright orange lighthouse. The tall, concrete building was built in 1931 along a four-kilometer, black-lava cliff. There's now a wooden walking path and picnic tables, as well. Expect lots of seabirds and, if you're lucky, a puffin sighting. Be sure to take in the 360-degree view."
"This lighthouse is a perfect spot for photographers, as the location where it is and the orange color combined can be really impressive. The cliffs are the best of this spot and I had the chance to photograph a seabird from very close. "

Have you ever dreamt about travelling to Iceland? Here I share the most complete 8-day itinerary along the Ring Road in Iceland! After having lived in Iceland for more than 1 year, I want to share with you my best tips based on my experience for travelling around one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen and that I like to call home. I’m also sharing special places and not only the most popular ones. What to consider before reading: • Personally, I believe that the most enjoyable way to travel around Iceland is by Campervan • The most important thing to pack is different layers of clothes, no matter what season you are in • Bare in mind that it's illegal to camp outside campings in Iceland (this is under your own responsibility) and this guide is not focusing on camping sites. • Be aware of the fast changing and though Icelandic weather. • Bring eye mask to sleep (there's almost no darkness during the Midnight Sun). • Feel free to modify the starting point of the road trip (either starting from the South or the West) according to the weather forecast (although it can be unpredictible). • I would not recommend taking detours that I suggest along the blog if weather conditions are not good. • Note that the maximum speed limit in Iceland is 90 km/h in main roads, make sure you don't overpass the limit. Traffic fines are very expensive in Iceland, you don't want to pay one! And be careful with sheep! They are constantly crossing the road. And most importantly, ENJOY YOUR TRIP TO ICELAND!! 😜🇮🇸 *all the pictures in this blog are mine otherwise stated
