Snavi Geo is a coastal feature located in the Shetland Islands, Scotland. It is classified as a headland or point, jutting out into the North Sea. The name "Snavi Geo" is derived from the Old Norse language, which was historically spoken in the region.

With its rugged and dramatic landscape, Snavi Geo offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area. It is characterized by steep cliffs that rise majestically from the sea, forming a prominent headland. The cliffs are composed of sedimentary rocks, displaying layers that reveal the geological history of the area.

The headland is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, making it a significant site for wildlife enthusiasts. Various seabirds, such as puffins, fulmars, and guillemots, can be spotted nesting on the cliffs during the breeding season. The surrounding waters are also abundant with marine life, including seals and dolphins, which can often be seen swimming and playing in the sea.

Snavi Geo is a popular destination for outdoor activities, such as hiking and birdwatching. There are well-maintained trails that allow visitors to explore the headland and enjoy its natural beauty. The area is also of historical interest, with ancient ruins and archaeological sites scattered throughout.

Visitors to Snavi Geo should be cautious of the steep cliffs and unpredictable sea conditions. Strong winds and high tides can make the area dangerous, so it is important to exercise caution and follow any safety guidelines provided.
