Höfn
Gateway to glaciers, diamond-strewn beaches, and the dramatic southeast
Top Experiences in Höfn
Diamond Beach & Jökulsárlón
Chunks of thousand-year-old glacier ice wash up on jet-black sand like scattered diamonds, and across the road, icebergs the size of cars drift through a lagoon toward the open sea. Two of Iceland's most surreal landscapes, separated by a bridge.
Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon
A 100-metre-deep canyon draped in thick green moss, carved by a river over thousands of years. It went viral after a Justin Bieber music video, but it earned its reputation long before that — the winding rim walk and the views down into the gorge are genuinely breathtaking.
Vestrahorn
Vestrahorn's jagged 454-metre peak mirrored in the shallow lagoons of Stokksnes beach is one of Iceland's most iconic images. The mountain is dramatic from every angle, but it's the reflections in the wet black sand at low tide that make photographers lose entire mornings here.
