Látrabjarg

The westernmost sea cliffs in Europe, stretching about 14 kilometers and rising up to 441 meters. Summer is the best time to see puffins up close.

The bird cliffs extend east from Bjargtangar Lighthouse. Every summer, millions of seabirds nest here, including puffins, razorbills, and kittiwakes. Puffins nest in the grassy slopes at the top of the cliffs, and you can often photograph them from a few meters away. Walk along the clifftop trail but stay well back from the edge, since the turf often hides soft burrows.

Located in the southwest corner of the Westfjords, Látrabjarg is about 3.5 to 4 hours' drive from Ísafjörður one way. Visitors usually spend the night in Patreksfjörður before exploring.
