we tried to visit this place on 5th April 2025 but we have to turn back as the road looks more dangerous. I think it is best to visit this place during summer season. The view along the road was nice anyway so it's still a win for us. :)

When going to Mjóafjörður, this is the place that everyone should see. In good weather the view is spectacular.
