Itinerary description

Sandhólatindur (also named Hákarlshaus, or Shark Head) 1154 m (65°18.649-14°00.339). Seyðisfjörður's highest mountain. It's best to cross the Vestdalsá river via the bridge just above the waterfall (65°17.021-14°01.439), then walk up the western mountain slope. You will need to bypass the cliffs on the way up, but after that everything will be easy.
