This naturally formed arch sits on the coastline, with the waves crashing against the rocks to create a spectacular visual effect, making it an ideal spot for photography enthusiasts. Visitors can walk along the coastal path to admire the surrounding volcanic rock formations and rich birdlife. The trail is well maintained and suitable for most visitors, but it is recommended to wear comfortable walking shoes to better explore the surrounding area. Early mornings and late afternoons are ideal for photographing Gatklettur when the light is soft.
