The nature reserve Hornstrandir, the northernmost part of the Westfjords, offers pure wilderness to all visitors. Comparatively densely populated in earlier days, these fjords are now left to natures firm grip. Trusting arctic foxes, lush meadows covered with flowers, majestic cliffs with screaming seabirds, deep fjords and vast remote bays make Hornstrandir a real paradise for all nature lovers.
