Mælifell is a farm, church site, and former vicarage in interior, western Skagafjörður, Iceland. The farm is at the foot of Mælifellshnjúkur, one of the best-known and most prominent of Skagafjörður’s mountains.[1] West of the mountain is Mælifellsdalur valley, through which there used to be a well-traveled road between northern and southern Iceland onto the Kjalvegur road and Stórisandur.[2]
One of the most well-known priests who served in Mælifell parish was Arngrímur lærði (“the learned”) Jónsson.[3] There is now a little stone church in Mælifell that was consecrated in 1925.[1]
