Hesteyri Whaling Factory, once a bustling hub of activity in the remote Westfjords of Iceland, was established by the Norwegian firm Brodrene Bull in 1894. Known as Hekla, the factory processed whales and later switched to herring before closing in 1940. The area saw a brief revival but was eventually abandoned in 1952, leaving behind prominent ruins that still stand today. Despite its deserted state, Hesteyri offers a glimpse into its vibrant past through well-maintained summer residences and hiking routes that lead visitors through its historic landscapes.
