Bolafjall

Bolafjall is a mountain that rises to 638 meters above sea level with a flat plateau at its summit. From the top you can look out across Ísafjarðardjúp bay and see the surrounding fjords spread below you.

The road to the summit was built in 1986, opening up access to the mountain top. In 1992, a radar station was constructed there to support Iceland's air defense operations.

The mountain serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors go to experience the landscape from above. People come here to connect with the natural surroundings and appreciate the views across the fjords.

The road to the summit is only open from July to August because of weather conditions. You should plan your visit during these summer months to reach the top by vehicle.

On clear days, the views from the summit stretch far enough to see Greenland on the horizon. A modern observation platform from 2022 provides a comfortable spot to take in this expansive view.
