About Öndverðarnes Lighthouse
Öndverðarnes is the westernmost tip of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, marked by a remote lighthouse and an ancient well called Fálki used by fishermen for centuries. The dramatic headland juts into the North Atlantic with sweeping views of the Snæfellsjökull glacier and the endless ocean. The area has striking basalt columns, hot springs (Bæjarfoss) and is one of the best spots on the peninsula for seabird watching and spotting seals and whales offshore.
