Hvalneskirkja
Taking Highway 45 from Garður, you will drive through the colorful little town of Sandgerði, one of Iceland's major fishing communities. About 6 km (4 miles) on from there, you will pass this funky-looking church smiling down on you from a hill. The church at Hvalsnes was consecrated in 1887. It was built with basalt stone retrieved from the surrounding area, and the wood interior was crafted with driftwood from the nearby shores.
