 "The Journey to the Center of the Earth"Common Seal by Yann Kolbeinsson
Words cannot express the mystery, wonder and almost surreal energy of the Snæfellsnes peninsula! The major landmark is the Snæfellsjökull glacier, which is renowned for its mystical powers and has captured the imagination of people all over the world, ever since Jules Verne wrote “The Journey to the Centre of the Earth” in 1871.

The area features extraordinary moorland, meadows, marshland, rivers, streams and small ponds along with beautiful rock formations and sand beaches.

Snaefellsnes Peninsula is without any doubt one of the best places in Iceland for Nature and Wildlife Watching during summer. On this tour we can expect to see a great variety of bird species and among them species such as Harlequin Duck, Atlantic Puffin, Brünnich's Guillemot, Arctic Tern and White-tailed Eagle.
