We embarked on a road trip through Westfjords, Iceland and we were completely blown away by the charm and beauty of its majestic fjords, soaring mountains, teeming wildlife, and bright blue sea. This remote corner of Iceland will definitely surprise and amaze you!
Places we visited in Westfjords are:
-Drangsnes hot pools, a modest yet very inviting small pools by the sea with natural warm water at three different temperatures
-Valagil waterfall, a tall waterfall nestled in a narrow canyon in a wide lush green valley
-Dynjandi, a ridiculously picturesque waterfall, the crown jewel of Westfjords and definitely one of the most beautiful in the whole of Iceland
-Hvítanes, a small settlement (more like a farm) by the sea where a colony of seals reside
-Látrabjarg, a massive sea cliff jutting at the westernmost point of Iceland, home to millions of sea birds, including countless of puffins
-Ísafjörđur, the largest town in Westfjords, an ideal base to explore the area
-Latrar air station, a cold war era radio station, presently used by the Icelandic coast guard, and the surrounding area provides amazing view points
-Garđar BA 64 shipwreck, the oddly photogenic wreckage of the oldest steel ship in Iceland
-Rauđisandur, or red sand beach, a popular wide open beach area whose sand has a reddish hue
Hopefully this could inspire you to visit Westfjords during your Icelandic road trip. For more detailed and complete report (incl. tips) of our journey, visit our travel blog 😀 (onebackpackeach.com)
