Gatklettur ("Hellnar Arch") is a famous naturally formed stone arch found between the villages of Arnarstapi and Hellnar on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. You can even walk on the rock gate.

Gatklettur - Arch Rock - is a cliff with an arc of a circle. Rock Arch shows how distinctive undulations have eroded the rocks into arches and beautiful swirling patterns.

There is great bird life around the cliffs and pretty flora in the area.

The correct name of this naturally formed stone arch is „Gatklettur“ ("Hellnar Arch"). A spectacular highlight and great for photographers – especially at sunrise ☀️.
