). The peninsula's dramatic scenery is more reminiscent of the Westf-
jords than the gentle hills that roll through most of northern Iceland. As well as
glorious panoramas and quality hiking, pit stops with pulling power include Hofsós'
perfect fjordside swimming pool, Lónkot's fine local produce and Siglufjörður's out-
standing herring museum, plus ski fields (including a growing trade in heliskiing), a
microbrewery, whale-watching tours, and ferries to offshore islands Grímsey and
Hrísey.
