Ingólfshöfði
East of Skaftafell, rising sharply above the vast plains of black sand is Ingólfshöfði, a solitary headland surrounded by sand and sea. In a region of ice, it steals attention from the inland sights. Taking its name from Iceland’s first settler, Ingólfur Arnarson, who probably spent his first months here, the location is also a beautiful nature preserve with abundant bird life, especially puffins and skuas who make their home there during nesting season. Visit it on a joyous tour with From Coast to Mountains.
