Westfjords

The Westfjords represent Iceland at its most wild and untamed. This remote peninsula, connected to the mainland by a narrow isthmus, feels like stepping back in time. With only 7,000 inhabitants spread across a landscape of dramatic fjords and towering sea cliffs, the Westfjords offer a true escape from the modern world.

Látrabjarg, Europe's westernmost point, features cliffs up to 440 meters high and hosts millions of nesting seabirds, including remarkably approachable puffins. The Dynjandi waterfall, a magnificent 100-meter cascade, is considered one of Iceland's most beautiful waterfalls.

The region is also home to Iceland's only naturally occurring mammal, the Arctic fox, which can often be spotted in Hornstrandir Nature Reserve. This roadless area is accessible only by boat and offers some of the most pristine hiking in Iceland.
