Látrabjarg Sea Cliff & Puffins
Látrabjarg is Europe's largest seabird cliff and Iceland's westernmost point — a spectacular 14 km long, 440-metre-high basalt wall home to millions of nesting seabirds including puffins, razorbills, guillemots, kittiwakes and fulmars. In summer (June–August) puffins nest in burrows at the very edge of the cliff and can be photographed at close range as they're surprisingly unafraid of humans. A remote but rewarding destination requiring 2–3 hours of driving from Ísafjörður on rough roads.
