A spontaneous 10 day trip to Iceland, at the time of flight & camper car bookings intended as a visit to the live eruption on Reykjanes. However, I anticipated the eruption might stop before I arrive, so I also planned for a visit to the Westfjords region in the NW of Iceland, including a 4D/3N hike in the amazing Hornstrandir nature reserve, to see Arctic Foxes, Puffins and more.
In the end, I spent just 1 day hiking to the sleeping volcano, and the rest in Westfjords, namely in/around Holmavik, Isafjördur, Hornstrandir & Latrabjarg. I did meet Arctic Foxes in Hornstrandir - mainly cubs in the vicinity of camp sites, but due to a cold/flu hitting me rather badly during my Hornstrandir hike, it was only in Latrabjarg that I managed to be at the sea cliffs at the right evening time, to finally have long-awaited close encounters with Puffins returning from a day at sea.
I couldn't have asked for a more satisfactory end to my journey :-)
Hope you'll enjoy some of my footage.
Cheers
