Vestrahorn is a spectacular combination of jagged mountain peaks and rolling waves located in the southeastern part of the Icelandic coastline. It's within easy reach of both the small fishing village of Hofn and the national park of Vatnajökull. Visitors can take in its rugged beauty, with its tall, pointed peaks towering over vast swathes of wild landscape. Photographers will delight in the natural colors of this awe-inspiring mountain, which range from gleaming black to deep blue and emerald green. Standing on the shore of the ocean, the reflection of the mountains in the still waters make it a perfectly peaceful scene. Visitors can also walk along the shores and take in the stunning views of the glacier and the distant views of the peaks as the sun rises or sets beneath the horizon. Vestrahorn is a must-see spot on any Icelandic road trip.
