All about the trip

This trip is a great blend of the unspoiled nature and the fascinating history of the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve.

We'll discover remains from a British radar station from WWII, see many species of Icelandic birds and walk along the top of some of the most beautiful cliffs in Iceland.

The route begins on a beautiful sandy beach and steadily climbs up along the sheer cliffs of Grænahlíð, which for many decades was the best shelter for fishing trawlers when storms reigned in the Atlantic.

On a clear day, we’ll be able to see views across the whole of Ísafjarðardjúp bay and into the Jökulfirðir glacial fjords. And remember to keep an eye open for the elusive Arctic fox.

Instructions

What to take with you?

Please bring warm outdoor clothing, waterproof jacket and pants, hat and gloves. Avoid cotton as it keeps you cold when wet and takes a very long time to dry. Please wear hiking boots that provide ankle support. Bring your sunhat, sunglasses, and sunscreen, as it can get sunny up there. Don't forget your water bottle, energy snacks, lunch, and camera.
