On day #2 of the Gate 1 tour, we headed by bus to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Our first stop was Ytri Tunga where we saw a few seals, then continued on to Arnarstapi. In Arnarstapi, we walked along the elevated coastline before enjoying lunch at a local restaurant.

After lunch, our next stop was the black sand beach of Djupalonssandur. This beach contains the 4 lifting stones that are used by Icelanders to prove their strength.

| It was a bit rainy and windy when we were there, and the waves were huge! |

Next, we went to Kirkjufell also known as Church Mountain.
The last stop of the day before heading to our hotel at Stykkisholmur was the shark museum. We had a short presentation that explained the shark meat industry. There were samples of fermented shark, and we saw the hanging/drying shark meat.
