Snæfellsnes Peninsula Coast

Paved coastal loop past a glacier-capped volcano.

Routes 54 and 574 trace the southern and western shore of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula beneath the Snæfellsjökull glacier-volcano, passing the Búðir black church, lava fields, and the Arnarstapi sea cliffs. The road is paved and drivable in a standard car year-round. Mind the strong crosswinds and slower gravel detours on the inland north side.
