Get away from it all in Látrabjarg, West Fjords, Iceland

If you love getting away from it all, hiking in Látrabjarg, West Fjords, Iceland, is ideal. Europe’s most westerly point, it is in one of the most remote areas of this volcanic island.

The breeding ground of tons of seabirds, including puffins, gannets, guillemots and razorbills, the towering cliffs are not only breathtaking but are a bird photographer’s paradise.

Nearby, you’ll also find a gorgeous beach, Rauðasandur, that’s tinted red from seashells.
