Hiking Kirkjufell Mountain | Snaefellsness Peninsula, Iceland 4K Cinematic Drone Footage
I'm hiking Kirkjufell Mountain on the Snaefellsness Peninsula in Western Iceland. Enjoy cinematic 4K drone footage from atop this insane trail. Please DO NOT ATTEMPT this hike unless you're extremely confident in your scrambling abilities and in VERY exposed places. You seriously could fall and die on this one. It's 2.9 miles up and down with 1,404 feet of elevation gain. Extremely steep and narrow trail and I'm so lucky to have had excellent conditions, otherwise, I'm not sure I would've pushed for the summit. Thanks for watching!
