More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You climb into a small bus and the road unfurls with the sea on your right and a sheer cliff to the left — the fjord opens like a blunt, cold hand and you feel its scale. The Westfjords’ roads are ribboned along steep shorelines; between villages, peat-and-lava slopes give way to sudden drops where waterfalls spill straight into the ocean.
