About

Ketubjörg are impressive sea cliffs in Skagafjörður, Iceland, just south of the abandoned farm Keta on the Skagi peninsula. The cliffs were formed from the remains of an ice age volcano the that the sea has eroded, resulting in rock pillar formations and a large cleft in the rocks.

A unique Icelandic experience. Worth your time.

Frequently
asked
questions

How do I get to Ketubjörg?
Ketubjörg is in North Iceland. Check live road conditions on this page before you drive — some coastal cliffs sit at the end of gravel tracks, and conditions change fast in Iceland.
Is Ketubjörg safe to visit?
Treat any Icelandic cliff with care. Edges are often undercut by the sea or weather and can collapse without warning, and coastal wind can gust hard enough to knock you over. Stay well back from the rim at Ketubjörg, keep to marked paths, and mind children and pets.
Can I see seabirds at Ketubjörg?
Many Icelandic sea cliffs host seabird colonies — puffins, fulmars and kittiwakes — mostly from roughly May to August. Watch from a safe distance behind the edge; nesting birds and crumbling turf make the very rim of Ketubjörg hazardous.
When is the best time to visit Ketubjörg?
Most cliffs are visitable year-round, though winter access depends on road and weather conditions and daylight is short. Summer brings the longest daylight and, at coastal cliffs, the seabird season. Check live road conditions before you drive.
