Ingolfshofdi
Ingólfshöfði is located at the south of the glacier called Öræfajökull and is accessable from the northwest.
It is a cape which rises up to 76 meters hight and provides a variety in nature, from steep cliffs and rocks to black sands and green grass.
Ingólfhöfði is named after the first settler of Iceland, Ingólfur Arnarson who landed there and spent his first winter in Iceland before settling in Reykjavík.
During summertime it’s teeming with thousands of puffins and other nesting seabirds.
The cape is only accessible for 4WD vehicles and due to possible quicksand, it’s not recommended to travel there without guidance.
