The land of ice and fire. Kirkjufell, Iceland

From glaciers and waterfalls to volcanoes and black sand beaches, Iceland's Snæfellsnes Peninsula has 'GoT' it all. Standing here proudly is the 463-metre-high Kirkjufell. The lofty hill is often referred to as 'Church Mountain' due to its distinctive shape resembling a church steeple. You might recognise it from the 'Game of Thrones' series where it featured in a scene set north of the colossal ice wall. Because of its pyramid shape, colours that shift with the seasons, and coastal location, this nunatak—a rock formation that protrudes through an ice sheet or glacier—is a frequent subject for photographers. If you're lucky, and the weather conditions align, Kirkjufell also offers a magnificent view of the northern lights.
