Iceland Reflection pool at Kirkjufell
Kirkjufell, Iceland’s most iconic mountain, offers stunning photo opportunities beyond the popular waterfall viewpoint. A lesser-known but equally captivating perspective is from a small pond near the parking lot, which provides beautiful reflections, especially in winter when frozen. Walking around the area reveals even more breathtaking views.
Photography Tips
Try to go at sunrise when the water is calm or during winter for a beautiful ice shot. Use a wide-angle lens and try to get as close to the surface of this pond as possible. This is a good Plan B if it's windy and you won't get any reflections at the nearby river or lake.
Travel Information
You can park your car at the designated parking area, which is just a few meters away. Bring good footwear, as the area is usually pretty muddy. I would also suggest checking www.safetravel.is when traveling in Iceland since weather and road conditions can change quickly.
