Hornstrandir
Experience the wildest coast in Iceland, where the arctic fox lives unafraid of humans and fjords lie abandoned most of the year. People lived here, at the northern tip of the Westfjords, until the middle of last century before leaving for an easier life and leaving the area to nature and it´s elements. This well protected nature reserve can only be reached by boat in the summer and is a true Icelandic experience that cannot be missed!
