Öndverðarnes

Öndverðarnes, the extreme tip of the Snæfellsnes peninsula. The area between Öndverðarnes and Rif is a great place for bird watching.

Formerly a substantial farm with a chapel, now a lighthouse.

Deep in the ground is the old well, Fálki, with 18 steps leading down to it.

South of Öndverðarnes are cliffs known as Svörtu­loft (“Black skies”), where ships have been wrecked.

Nearby is the big Neshraun lava field, with many old craters such as Öndverðarneshólar, Saxhóll etc.
