Gatklettur, also known as the "Hellnar Arch," is a stunning natural stone arch located between Arnarstapi and Hellnar on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. This unique rock formation is a favorite spot for photographers due to its swirling patterns created by the ocean's constant erosion. It's definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a scenic and peaceful stop on your Icelandic adventure.
