Kirkjufell, Snæfellsnes Peninsula, Iceland

Of all the iconic locations in Iceland, Kirkjufell is perhaps the most recognisable. The locals call it Church Mountain, whilst Danish colonialists called it the Sukkertoppen (the Sugartop). It was featured twice in the Game of Thrones television series, where it was known as Arrowhead Mountain, north of the Wall. The distinctive cone shape is an eroded nunataq, the delightful Greenlandic word for a glacial rock island. This photo shows the fell with a foreground of sheet ice as autumn fades to winter.
