Top peninsulas in Westfjords
The region's stand-outs — each with photos, facts, and its own page.
Westfjords
Not exactly a peninsula but a whole region of them. Iceland's remote northwest, where roads wind around countless fjords. Getting here takes commitment. The rewards are proportional. Dynjandi waterfall, Látrabjarg bird cliffs, and landscapes without tourist crowds. The ferry from Stykkishólmur shortcuts the driving. Either way, budget extra time. Westfjords can't be rushed.
Bjargtangar
Bjargtangar is the westernmost point of Iceland and is considered the westernmost point of Europe outside the mid-Atlantic archipelago of Azores. It is the westernmost point in the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) time zone. Icelandic peninsula where land meets the Atlantic. Peninsula driving often takes longer than maps suggest - enjoy the journey.
