The Full Circle and the
Westfjords Passport is
the same as the Full
Circle Passport with
the addition of the
Breiðafjörður area
and the Westfjords of
Iceland. You will take a
ferry across the beautiful
Breiðafjörður. The mostly
shallow fjord is dotted
with more than 3000
islands of all sizes and
shapes, the most famous
of which is the second largest; Flatey. The Westfjords
are a unique part of Iceland. Mostly narrow with steep
mountain sides down to the
ocean. The population has been dwindling
the last decades mostly because of how
isolated the area is during the winter. But
it is this isolation that makes the area so
magical. The calm fjords can make even
the most restless of people stoic. This
being said, there is no shortage of life and
excitement in the villages along the coast
of the Westfjords during the summer. Fes-
tivals of all sorts, markets and exhibitions
take place every week. Last and not least
this passports connects with tours to the
amazing Hornstrandir; once inhabited by
farmers and fishermen but now deserted,
a triumph of nature.
