Hofsós - IJsland / Iceland 08-08-2011
Hofsós is one of the oldest trading ports in northern Iceland dating back to the 16th century.
Hofsós, with a population of about 200 individuals, is located 37 km east from Sauðárkrókur.
The economy has been based mainly on the fishing industry as well as services to the neighboring farms. This was largely due to its natural harbor. In recent years Hofsós has built itself up as a tourist attraction and has The Icelandic Emigration Center (Vesturfarasetrið á Hofsósi), dedicated to the westward migration to North America of Icelanders that reached its peak at the turn of the 19th century. The Drangey Exhibition is in Pakkhús, the Hofsós warehouse built in 1777, during the time of the trading monopoly. Massacre hill farm (Mannskaðaholl) at the south end of Lake Höfðavatn, is named for the massacre of English marauders, which took place there in 1431.

Togarinn Málmey SK í eigu Fisk Seafood á Sauðárkróki hefur verið í gagngerum endurbótum við skipasmíðastöð í Póllandi. Kjarninn í þeirri vinnu var að breyta skipinu úr frystitogara í ísfisktogara sem flytur ferskt hráefni að landi. Samhliða þeim breytingum fór fram mikil endurnýjun á skipinu. Það var allt sandblásið og málað og ýmsum búnaði skipt út. Þann 9. desember síðastliðinn lagðist Málmey svo við bryggju á Akranesi. Þar verður settur nýr vinnslubúnaður á milliþilfar þess með öllu sem því fylgir. Verkið er unnið undir stjórn Skagans hf. á Akranesi og mikið af búnaðinum er þaðan og frá dótturfyrirtækinu 3x-Technology á Ísafirði. Takist allt til eins og horfur eru á, verður þessi búnaður byltingarkennd nýjung í meðferð afla um borð í ísfiskskipum

Aurora Borealis from Saudarkrokur
2018-11-07 from North-North West Iceland. Was a bit confused as well wether to look towards the tail or the head of the Aurora. Seems there's a little more action when looking towards the head to the west, rather than the tail. But the swirl that happened was an unexpected treat!
