Message from Jan In Iceland

Iceland's biggest sea cliffs stretching over 14km with highest point 441m/1.447ft. It is a true bird-watching paradise.

To get here expect you don't need a 4x4 but expect a bumpy ride.

From the parking lot, if you are visiting in the summer, you will be able to see puffins as soon as you approach the cliffs. You can then continue hiking further along the cliffs to the highest if you'd like, there's a path leading there.

  • Do not get too close to the edge. When puffins build nests, they dig out the soil under the cliff's edge, which means the whole thing could collapse and well....it's a long way down.
