Even though August is summer in the Westfjords we start getting the hint that winter is near. The puffins have headed out to sea and south where it is warmer to stay over winter.
What to expect
In August the daylight hours become fewer, they are still more than most people are used to. By the end of August you might even start to see the northern lights.
