Hornafjörður, Fjord in southeastern Iceland
The fjord extends along the southeastern coast of Iceland, featuring steep cliffs, deep blue waters, and several outlet glaciers from Vatnajökull.
In August 1924, Hornafjörður marked a milestone in aviation history as the landing point for the first aerial circumnavigation flight around the world.
The town of Höfn, situated on the fjord's edge, maintains traditional fishing practices and offers local specialties including fresh lobster and dried fish.
Travelers can access Hornafjörður through Iceland's Ring Road, with various accommodations available in Höfn for exploring the surrounding natural attractions.
The fjord area hosts wild reindeer herds that migrate to the lowlands during winter, making it one of few places in Iceland to observe these animals.
