Höfn

Tucked along the tidal waters of Hornafjörður in southeastern Iceland, Höfn is a town whose character is shaped by the nearby Vatnajökull ice cap and the North Atlantic. Its working harbour supports a fishing community long associated with langoustine, a local speciality found on restaurant menus across town. Höfn is also a practical base for travelling through the Vatnajökull National Park area, where glacier tongues, black-sand shores and broad glacial plains define the coast. The town’s low-built centre and harbourfront convey life at Iceland’s southeastern edge. See how Höfn relates to the wider Hornafjörður district by browsing webcams nearby.
