Monday, June 6: Snæfellsnes Peninsula South Shore
Today we explore the south side of the peninsula and the area south
of Snæfellsjokull volcano. We walk the scenic trail from Hellnar, the
home of Bardur the guardian spirit of Snaefellsnes, to Arnarstapi
and see a variety of geological formations. Here the beaches are
golden, black or pebbled and many are favored by seals. We
visit Vatnshellir cave, a very large lavatube located underneath
Snæfellsjokull glacier our own journey into the earth.
We hiked along the shore and the landscape was breathtaking.
