Back to nature

This is the only place to spot a sea eagle and probably the best place to see the arctic fox in its natural environment. The whole region is teeming with wildlife and unique flora.

Wide open spaces

Dynjandi is the collective name, meaning thunderous, for no less than seven waterfalls that tumble down the hillsides of Arnarfjordur. Spanning a depth of 100 metres in total, the waterfalls have a campsite close by, a perfect setting from which to ponder the power of water. And for hikers, the unmissable stop is

Latrabjarg is the biggest, the most westerly point of Europe with its cliffs rising to 440m, is home to the biggest gathering of seabirds in the north Atlantic. Hornstrandir, a nature reserve that will leave you breathless. Totally uninhabited during winter, the journey is not for the faint of heart, but the reward for those who get this far is almost indescribable.
