Snaefellsnes volcano, Iceland

Jules Verne’s Journey to the Centre of the Earth starts at Snaefellsnes volcano.

Earlier Icelandic sagas are set here, too.

Mystics and spiritualists oft list this as a ‘Power Place’ of sorts.

Another story tells of a slam poetry contest between a great Icelandic writer named Kolbeinn Jöklaskáld and the devil. The devil lost the duel and had to throw him self to the bottom of the sea near this spot (north of Hellnar).

I scrambled up and left a Summit Stone on the stark volcanic outcropping.
