Stapinn í Lækjavík is a distinctive coastal landmark in Stapavík, between Álftafjörður and Höfn. The roughly 20-metre-high sea stack is land-connected but stands slightly apart from the cliff, creating a striking silhouette against the Atlantic. Visit Austurland highlights both the stack and the coast south of Álftafjörður as notable natural attractions, and the site is accessible from Road 1.
