The Grapevine's take
Southern Westfjords
The southern Westfjords contain some of the most breathtaking scenery in Iceland. Start at Brjánslækur, where the ferry from Snæfellsnes comes in, and drive west on Highway 62 to the Rauðasandur red sand beach. Next, turn onto Highway 612 for the beautiful bird cliffs of Látrabjarg, before heading up to Patreksfjörður to check out the Húsið art space. Take Route 63 to the Samúel Jónsson Museum, then cross Dynjandisheiði for a perfect finale at the incomparable Dynjandi waterfall. If you are looking for the best road trip in the Westfjords then this is it.

About this tour
Enjoy the magnificent valleys, giant cliffs and yellow colored beaches of Ketildalir valleys and the beautiful remote valley Selárdalur, on the west side of Arnarfjörður. We visit the extraordinary museum of outdoor works, the Art Museum of Samúel Jónsson, a self educated artist who could finally devote himself to his passion for art when becoming a pensioner. There is a variety of big sculptures, paintings and colorful houses in this remote and isolated place. On our way through the historic, vivid Bíldudalur town, we examine tales of sea monsters at the Sea Monster Museum. Tálknafjörður is renowned for the small tidy fishing village, geothermal water, rich birdlife and white sandbank. We explore both sides of the fjord including Europe's western most grove, the ruins of Suðureyri's whaling station and rest our legs in the local natural hot spring pool Pollurinn.
