2 Best Sights in East Iceland and the Eastfjords, Iceland

Featured in marketing images, advertisements, TV shows, and countless wedding shots, the view of Vestrahorn mountain on the Stokknes peninsula, east of Höfn, is one of the most iconic in Iceland. The best place to frame a snapshot is by the gate of the old U.S. radar station. The peninsula is also home to the Viking Cafe and a remarkable, never-used film set of a Viking village.

On the way to Eyjabakkajökull, take the right turn at the Bjálfafell signpost for truly spectacular views over the pristine wilderness west of Snæfell known as Vesturöræfi. Here you can see the broad edge of the Brúarjökull glacier tongue to the west, and Eyjabakkajökull to the east.
