There are other Snæfellsnes Waterfalls beyond those already mentioned on this website. Since we were in a hurry to get from Ólafsvík to Stykkishólmur to catch our scheduled ferry to the Westfjords, we couldn't stop as often as we wanted to in order to photograph the falls on the northern side of the peninsula.
