Nature's Awe and Wildlife Unfold in Iceland's Remote Hornstrandir!

Hornstandir Nature Preserve is covers the remote Northwest part of Iceland. It is the largest of it's kind in all of Europe and is a site to behold. Accessible by boat, there used to be a small whaling village called Hesteyri that was abandoned as serves as a resting point for hikers and explorers. Be sure to try the soup and have a coffee to warm yourself up after a long hike. Here you can find Arctic Foxes, although they are very elusive. Less skittish were the seals that I came across while hiking the shoreline. This was a much better viewing that the "seal capital" of Vatnsnes Penninsula. I highly recommend coming here instead if you have time!
