Meet the Arrowhead Mountain
Kirkjufell’s distinctive profile became the Arrowhead Mountain in Game of Thrones.
Kirkjufell appears in Game of Thrones as the Arrowhead Mountain, a landmark in the fictional lands north of the Wall. Its isolated shape above Breiðafjörður makes it easy to recognise even when a television story supplies a different name and setting.
The real mountain has gathered names of its own: Danish sailors called it Sugarloaf, while Kirkjufell evokes the shape of a church. Enjoy its outline from the waterfall paths at Kirkjufellsfoss. Watch how the profile changes as you move along the permitted path; recognising a screen landmark can be the beginning of looking at it more closely.
