Búðir Black Church

📍 West Iceland

📖 Description

The Búðir Black Church is a striking 19th-century wooden church painted entirely in black, standing in solitude on the wild Snæfellsnes peninsula with the Snæfellsjökull glacier as its dramatic backdrop. Surrounded by ancient lava fields and with the North Atlantic close by, this hauntingly atmospheric spot makes for one of Iceland's most memorable photographs.
