Kirkjufell
Mostly known as the “arrowhead mountain” since it has been featured in the Game of Thrones, the name Kirkjufell actually translates to the “church mountain“.

This majestic mountain stands alone on the edge of the ocean. After a short walk, you will reach its beautiful waterfall: Kirkjufellsfoss, from where the view towards the Kirkjufell mountain is absolutely stunning.
Djúpalónssandur
While most of the beaches of Iceland are made out of black sand, Djúpalónssandur is among the most famous ones.

Besides hosting unique rock formations, Djúpalónssandur also carries traces of its past and history. Remains of shipwrecks and stones that were used to measure the strength of aspirant fishermen are still present on the beach.
The Fishing village of Arnarstapi
The one true gem of Snæfellsnes, impressively guarded by the statue of the first settler of the peninsula, Bárður Snæfellsás, is the fishing village of Arnarstapi.

The coastline of Arnarstapi truly has all the most interesting rock formations. Cliffs made out of basaltic columns and arches that legends compare to trölls are home to thousands of birds that for some reason, have decided to travel halfway across the globe to lay their eggs just there.
And more …
In addition to Kirkjufell, Djúpalónssandur, and Arnarstapi which are the most famous places in Snæfellsnes, your guide will also take you to other remarkably beautiful spots that are their favorite in the peninsula.

One would think that coming to Iceland in the winter or in the summer requires bringing completely different outfits.

This is both true and untrue. Let's say that it is very unlikely to be warm in winter and unlikely to be very cold in summer.

This said: Always, always be ready for rain and wind. The weather is highly unpredictable in Iceland and is famous for turning from an one extreme to another in an instant.

What does it mean?

It means that no matter how many layers you are wearing in regards to the temperature, you should always have a windproof/rainproof jacket and pair of pants, either on you or at least with you in your backpack.
