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.
