Adalvik cove faces the open seas, being the outermost cove in Hornstrandir Nature Reserve. The cove is rather big, with about 5 miles between the impressive mountains that surround it. Both sides fall steeply into the ocean and there is a considerable lowland area within the cove. North of Adalvik is Straumnes and Straumnesfjall mountain.  Further in the cove is Latrafjall mountain.

Haelavikurbjarg, between coves Hornvik and Haelavik, is a 258 m high sheer cliff. It is named after Haell, a freestanding rock in the sea just off the coast. Above the brink is a valley called Hvannadalur. Below the valley are two beautiful freestanding dikes, Langikambur and Fjol, in the sea, with a small cove named Kirfi in between them. Not far away is the third dike, Sulnastapi, standing in the sea close to the cliff.

The nature reserve Hornstrandir, the northernmost part of the Westfjords, offers pure wilderness to all visitors. Comparatively densely populated in earlier days, these fjords are now left to natures’ firm grip. Arctic foxes, lush meadows covered with flowers, majestic cliffs with screaming seabirds, deep fjords and vast remote bays make Hornstrandir a real paradise for all hikers and nature lovers.

Travellers to the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve should contact Tourist Information Centres in the Westfjords for further information regarding the trip, to check out the weather forecast and to gather last minute information. Safety should always be number one when planning trips to Hornstrandir and other remote areas in the Westfjords peninsula, as weather and other conditions change quickly.

The Westfjord Heritage Museum is situated at the tip of the small spit on which the town of Ísafjörður is located. The museum building is one of four 18th century houses that have been renovated and are now amongst the town’s biggest tourist attritions. The town of Ísafjörður was established and based on the fishing industry; therefore it is only natural that the museum focuses mainly on maritime history. In the museum itself, as well as in the area around it, you will find all kinds of fishing- and fish production equipment, everything from fish hooks to a ship. There is also a part of a big accordion collection.

After a tour around the museum and its surroundings, you can relax at the Tar House and enjoy some light refreshments.
