Our Trip to Westfjords, Iceland
Westfjords: Dominated by dramatic large fjords and towering cliffs
The Westfjords in Iceland, dominated by dramatic large fjords, steep mountains and towering cliffs rising high from the sea, are one of the most scattered populated region of Iceland and often thought to have the most purest nature. The Westfjords are rich of birdlife and the region is renowned for witchcraft, sorcerers and wizards.

PETES CYCLE TOUR 2015 : WESTFJORDS ICELAND.
I planned for a five week tour throughout Iceland but had to cut short due to a knee problem after two weeks. The weather was rather inclement due to the fact this summer was particularly bad, very cold wind from the north virtually all the time resulting in a unusually low snow line for the time of year. If your cycle touring in Iceland attempt to avoid the road N1 it's a busy road like any other; boring.Iceland is a fascinating place go there for immensely panoramic sceneries, bird life and geological events you will not be disappointed.

Westfjords adventure
A summary of our hiking trip in Iceland's Westfjords.
We started from the most western part of the country (Látrabjarg) where we made some puffin and razorbill friends. We fought with the wind and washed our hair in cold springs. We then met that dog we named Flamby before heading back to the ferry.

Iceland 20150724.6 Breiðavík to Látrabjarg
Drive day #2 of our two week road trip around Iceland. This is Mobius ActionCam wide angle video of the drive from Breiðavík to Látrabjarg on 612 in the Westfjords. We are driving a 2014 Kia Sorento Diesel.
This road is noted as having a high rate of accidents for visitors to Iceland. There are examples of the road exposure at 8:30 and 16:30, but due to the wide angle lens it doesn't appear as steep as it actually is. Don't miss the cliff warning signs at 18:37.
