Fontur Point

Fontur is the outer tip of Langanes, a long peninsula jutting from northeastern Iceland into the North Atlantic. Steep sea cliffs line its exposed shores, rising above waters between Þistilfjörður and Bakkaflói. Seabirds crowd the cliffs of the peninsula, including gannets and guillemots. Beyond the headland the open sea stretches toward the Arctic, while the long neck of land separates the bays that cut into Iceland's northeastern coast.
