Kirkjufell, Mountain peak near Grundarfjörður, Iceland.

The mountain rises 463 meters above sea level with steep sides and a pointed summit, forming a triangular silhouette against the North Atlantic Ocean.

Danish sailors in past centuries named this peak Sukkertoppen, meaning Sugar Top, while observing its distinct shape during their maritime expeditions.

The peak gained international recognition after appearing in the television series Game of Thrones as the Arrowhead Mountain north of the Wall.

The climbing route to the summit requires technical expertise and proper equipment, with guided tours recommended due to challenging weather conditions.

The geological formation emerged as a nunatak during the Ice Age, standing above surrounding glaciers while maintaining its distinct volcanic layers.
