Records of settlements around Arnarstapi date back to the Bárðar saga Snæfellsáss, an ancient Icelandic Saga that tells of the half-human, half-ogre who once lived on the Snæfellsnes peninsula. Since his death, he has been considered the area's guardian spirit. The region was popular with settlers due to its natural harbour, meaning fishing in the rich herring grounds of the surrounding waters was easy. When Norway, and to a much greater extent when they took over, Denmark, were in control of Iceland, Arnarstapi grew increasingly as a trading port.
Denmark invested a lot of money into Arnarstapi throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries (for their own interests, unfortunately not those of the Icelanders). Many of the resulting buildings still stand today, being some of the oldest in the country, such as the Danish Prefect’s Residence, which was built in the 1770s. In the industrial revolution, Arnarstapi’s population radically shrunk which was common in the countryside at this time. The vast majority of Iceland’s jobs were now centralised in Reykjavík, reducing opportunities for small-time fishermen and their businesses, and the town became little more than a hamlet as a result.
As Iceland’s infrastructure rapidly improved after independence in 1943, and more people abroad began to see the many wonders of this island as a travel destination; Arnarstapi, like many other settlements in the area, got a new lease on life. Fishing and trade remain vital parts of the economy, but they now play second fiddle to tourism and services. The village has essential services for those travelling on the peninsula, a wide array of accommodation options, and tour companies operating from it.
There are many incredible sites around Arnarstapi.
The beach at Arnarstapi holds a particular attraction. It has an eroded circular stone arch, called Gatklettur, and here, the interplay of spectacular waves and the light of the sun create a fascinating spectacle. Large colonies of the arctic tern also nest in the area, and both these features make it very popular amongst photographers.
An old horse trail through the lava field Hellnahraun is highly popular for hiking, due to the impressiveness of the surrounding landscape.
Arnarstapi, however, should never be too long a stop on a tour of the peninsula. As lovely as it is, the natural attractions nearby simply warrant more time. The village, for example, sits on the cusp of Snæfellsjökull National Park, home to the Snæfellsjökull glacier and volcano, the beauty of which has inspired writers and artists for centuries.
This is one of only three National Parks in the country, but it is to the credit of the peninsula’s beauty that it is far from the only must-see destination around. Very close to Arnarstapi is the Lóndrangar basalt cliffs, huge towers of lava that from a distance look like a fortress.
Vatnshellir and Sönghellir and two nearby lava caves (the former of which can only be entered on a guided tour). There is also a beautiful cleft in a mountainside called Rauðfeldsgjá Gorge that it is possible to climb into. Though a little further away, on the north of the peninsula, Kirkjufell mountain is also a wonderful site to behold.
Sping of Mraiulind (Mariulindir, Gvendarbrunnur):
By Gróuhóll in Hellnar there is a spring that goes by the name of Lífslind Hellnamanna (“Spring of life”), but has in recent times been called Maríulind (“Spring of Mary”) after an image of the Virgin Mary was put up by the spring. It is belived that the spring has healing powers and it is said that it will never dry up. According to legend, Bishop Guðmundur the Good (Icelandic Saint) came to this place in 1230 and along with his fellow travellers had a vision of a woman accompanied by three angels. She bade him consecrate the spring, and he did so.

Hi,a very nice film,greetings from Germany.
I broke my tongue trying to pronounce that volcano name ! So many legends & sites to see. I would need 2-3 days to see such a beautiful peninsula. Nice surprise near end & fun 2 c red in Iceland. Thanx for wonderful tour & muzik. Your drone skills r amazing. Such contrasts on channel: warm beaches or cold basalt. Thanx for opening commentary & then only muzik ! Unique 2 us.
LOL
Concentrating the precious AU
That's beautiful....and you can clearly see the different banding in the rockface...lava layer upon lava layer.
Gorgeous place, was there last December when the land was a crazy dark umber colour. Beautiful ❤
The cliff face color differences are awesome.
Beautiful, Its on my bucket list to take a holiday to Iceland, before its too late 😅 I retire in 5yrs so fingers crossed 🤞
I am really enjoying these videos.
Lol it must be a hard name to pronounce if an native Icelander finds it hard to say😉😀Thankyou Roman🙏
Volcano crucibles
Hi from the Isle of Man (Mannin in Manx Gaelic). Our only true mountain (2,037 feet) is named Snaefell (Snow Mountain. Or Sniaull in Manx Gaelic). The name Snaefell is old Norse and comes from a time when we were ruled by Norwegian Vikings (8th century until the 12th century). We also have a Tynwald Hill (Tinvaal in Manx Gaelic). This is where our Parliament meets every year (5th July) for an open air meeting and has continued to do so for over a thousand years. Again, a link to our Norse heritage. I believe Iceland also has/had a Thingvellir where your Parliament meets/met. Thank you for showing the beautiful sights of Iceland.
I thought I recognized the name of that volcano. I read Journey to the Center of the Earth when I was young. Several times, in fact.
Love the footage. Did you have permission to fly your drone or is it free to fly there for anyone with a licence? I have the A1A3 certificate and will be bringing my drone in september
Free.
Very beautiful video! Roman...just a question...in all footage and views of Iceland i never see cattle, no cows, no sheep....dont you Icelanders have animals?
There are more sheep and cattle here than humans:) í just film volcanic areas
👍
The Earths’ way of recycling the filth and waste of mankind
8:32 Is that a house?
Aliens ? Unearthly creatures ? Makes me want to visit…….HaHaHa
Nice !
I wonder if anyone has ever made a geomagnetic study of this area. Sometimes there are instances of anomalous strong magnetic fields in areas with a history of apparations.
Maybe a dragon lives in the cave lol
Truly enjoyed your video... thank you!
I believe I have left part of my heart in Iceland last year.
