Of the many rock formations in western Iceland, Gatklettur (Hellnar Arch) is arguably the most popular. Located in the heart of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, you’ll get there by walking a coastal path between the villages of Arnarstapi and Hellnar. The peninsula is one of the most beautiful regions in the country and is often referred to as “Iceland in Miniature” because of its diverse geological features and wildlife. It’s best to get there via a tour from Reykjavik or rent a car; there is no public transportation within the region.
