Deciding we had just about exhausted the tourist spots in the Golden Circle and Southeast Iceland we headed for the Westfjords and North Iceland. It was beautiful, rugged and even less populated than other parts of Iceland. Weather in the Westfjords region was very windy, foggy and snowy. We decided to retrace our steps and travel eastward into Northern Iceland.
We had just traveled 6km under the bay from the mountains to the other side and stopped to take a photo. This is the first sunrise we saw on our stay in Iceland.
There are many farm small churches in Iceland. I am told they are used by the families during holidays and the cemeteries are for family.
We were lured into Hvammstangi by a sign for the wool factory shop and the seal museum. The Wool Factory had a open sign in the window but the door was locked and a phone number pasted on the front door! The seal museum was by the boat dock, not a seal insight, and the souvenir shop was bigger than the museum!
Our lucky day, not only did we see a sunrise but a sunset!
