Reyðarvatn is one of several small lakes along route 54 on Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Mount Þorgeirsfell, a beautiful, with steep, and tall scree slope, serves as a stunning backdrop to the lake. The lakes offer a fantastic contrast to the mountain range alongside them, with colours ranging from coal-black to light yellow or golden. The mountain’s dark expanse rises dramatically above the lake, which mirrors the mountain on a perfectly still and sunny day. The area is a stunning backdrop for any production with its unique, surrounding landscape.
