Snæfellsjökull National Park

We are right next to the Snaefellsjokull National Park. It is simply a nice natural area around the mystical, magical, powerful, magestic, Snaefellsjokull glacier and volcano. Featured in the 1864 science fiction novel by Jules Verne "The Journey to the Centre of the Earth" Besides the glacier there are various places to visit in the park, including bird cliffs, drive in crator, black sand and rocky beaches, rock formations, trolls, caves and lighthouses. But most of all it may be nice to go somewhere of the beaten track and just spend time with your self and the pure nature

Kolgrafafjörður

Kolgrafafjordur became famous due to an engineering accident. The bridge across the fjord is perhaps too short which means that Oxygen can be depleted if swarms of fish head into the fjord perhaps trying to avoid the hunting Orcas (Killer Whales). When this happens the fish dye which results in an abundance of organic material which in turn becomes food for star fish which in turn become food for Northern Garnets a beautiful big bird. The old road gives you access to this tranquil fjord.

Rif höfn

Seeing a local fishing village harbor is a must. Despite the small size of the town the harbor has lots of activity.

Northern Lights

Northern Lights can be seen anytime when you do not have a complete cloud cover and if it gets dark, which means from late August to early May. The Northern Lights are the result of charged particles discharged by solar winds that hit the earths magnetosphere. So ultimately how much northern light activity there is depends on the solar storms. West Iceland is particularly well suited to observe the Northern Lights as it is relatively close to the magnetic North. It is much closer than North Norway which is closer to the actual North Pole but not the Magnetic North Pole
