Miumiu_C🇮🇸 Iceland|Visiting the octopus grandfather of Alnastapi.⭕️ Alnastapi Arnarstapi used to be an important trading station with a much larger population than it is now. The Arnarstapi pier is surrounded by columnar basalt, canyons and grottoes. The boat has good fixed points. The town itself has a sizeable Arctic tern population. It is recommended to walk along the coastline to watch birds and magnificent lava layers. The coast and cliffs between Anastapi and Heidner were built as a nature reserve in 1979. .Has a very interesting old road along the coastline, where you can see the fishermen's old residential areas, with ghostly legends of various birds such as the Arctic tern and the small tern, through the lava area. In 1979, it was listed as Iceland's national natural conservation landscape area. The town is now developing tourism, but the only diner in the town center that can make a living selling fast food such as fish and chips and burgers. ⭕️ Octopus grandfather stone statue Bárar Saga Snfellsáss Statue In the Saga mythology of Mount Snai, there is a mountain god Bárur guarding Mount Snai, which is made of countless stones, called "Bárar Saga Snfellsáss Statue" affectionately called by tourists "Grandpa Octopus". Designed by Ragnar Kjartansson..Legend has it that Bardur was descended from giants and humans and the son of a Scandinavian king. At the end of the 9th century, he came to Laugabrekka and began his own reign over Laugabrekka. As Bardur's life was nearing its end, he disappeared alone in the frozen glacier of Snaefellsas, neither alive nor dead. From then on, locals have made him the patron saint of Snaefellsas Glacier. Grandpa is suitable for pulling the vision, standing on a large grass slope, backed by the snowy mountains, the side shadow of the wind, the big stomach, the living old spirit. Or a big close-up, although stacked by stones, the face details are definitely worth considering.. ⚪️ ⚪️ ⚪️ ⚪️ Ⓘ Ⓝ Ⓕ Ⓞ ⚪️ ⚪️ ⚪️ ⚪️📌 ⫱ Arnarstapavegur, Arnarstapi, Iceland 🚙 ⫱ 18 kilometers from the Black Church, 20 minutes to arrive. ⚫️ ⚫️ ⚫️ ⚫️ 🅟 🅗 🅞 🅣 🅞 ⚫️ ⚫️ ⚫️ ⚫️📷 ⫱ SONY A7RⅡ ▧ 24-70MM F4🎨 ⫱ Late Lightroom 🖥 ⫱ Puzzle Photoshop
