Westfjorðs Attractions

The Westfjörðs are Iceland's most rugged region. This area of unspoiled nature is accessible only by water and each fjord has its own distinctive character.

Most inhabitants live by fishing and many tiny fishing villages rest at the foot of the cliffs and mountains.

Known for its peace and quiet, the area is ideal for hiking.

Whales are sighted and the shore is home to a variety of bird-life.

In the Westfjörðs, the mountains are so steep that the sun can not be seen over them for months on end.
