Iceland Gatklettur Stone Arch, Arnarstapi
Gatklettur Stone Arch is a very nice and perfectly shaped stone arch, formed over time by erosion due to the movements of the North Atlantic Ocean. This coastline is one of the best I've ever seen in my life, the rock formations are really impressive with some very strange but interesting shapes and the thousands of seabirds flying from the surroundings make this place so particular.
Photography Tips
Same as usual in Iceland, but perhaps stronger here, could be very windy! don't forget you are on a coastline in front of the North Atlantic Ocean :)
