Sights Around Hofn...

The name of this town which is pronounced as 'hub', means 'harbour'.
It is a modern fish-processing town hence it lies by the sea.
Enclaved by the lagoon Hornafjordur, this place is chilly & cold, depended on the weather & the sea condition.
It is also likely to be drizzled with rain all through the year...
As the photo above, walking along Ranarslod road, I captured this nice view.
Oh ! There's a boat I could see...& again some islands.
We could also see some mountains there in the distance...

Looking out to the sea, I took this photo.
There's some small islands, which if I had a boat, would definitely took me there...

A photo of a plant in Hofn.
I was always intrigued but the plants around Iceland as I was told that the plants were 'brought' to Iceland from Antartica, Greenland & even mainland Europe.

Walking along the Hornafjordur, I managed to capture some 'night scenes' around Hofn.
It was around 10 to 11 pm when these photos by me were taken; The sun was just on the horizon; It didn't go down. To me it was kinda weird.

This is the Hofn harbour. It smelled fish when I was there; Maybe the factories just dumped the fish intestines to the sea & the wind brought the smell to the whole town ! Maybe...

Directions: It was just about 5 to 10 minutes walking from Hofn Youth Hostel...

Right ! When I first arrived in Hofn, the whole place smelled fish ! Stinking smelly fish...!
The bus that I took from Vik dropped me & a few other passengers just infront of The Youth Hostel.
Waited for a while to check in then I went out on my own to check the town...
Within a short walking distance, I walked to the Hornafjordur lagoon; The sea was calm albeit drizzling rain; It was not chilly, it was damn cold !
