Glettinga Point

Glettinganes is a small headland on Iceland's eastern coast, beneath the steep mountain Glettingur. It separates the coves of Hvalvík and Kjólsvík, with rocky slopes falling toward the North Atlantic. A remote farm stood on the point, and the nearby fishing grounds made it a place where boats could work close to shore. The steep approach and winter conditions made the headland difficult to reach overland, even while the sea offered access to its sheltered coves.
