Grundarfjörður and a tour of Snæfellsnes peninsula

This morning we docked at Grundarfjörður.  The view from our balcony was of Kirkjufell.  This mountain appears in Game of Thrones as Arrowhead mountain.


We had a 5 hour tour of the Snaefellsnes peninsula. including the Snæfellsjökull volcano, which fortunately hasn't erupted for nearly 2000 years.

We saw the half troll statue at Arnarstapi

And after a stop for some coffee and an extremely yummy piece of apple cake, we took a walk along the coast to see some interesting rock formations where the Arctic terns are nesting.


Then it was back to the ship just in time to get dressed for the Captain's Gala Dinner.

Tomorrow we go to Grimsey Island and cross into the Arctic circle.

  1. Was the cake included or did you have to pay £30 for it?

  2. Everything on the excursions is included, and the tips and alcohol is included on ship. It's just the spa we have to pay for - and I didn't use that.
