Lost Fjords

The Hornstrandir Nature Reserve is a place of extraordinary untouched beauty and abundant wildlife. Towering basalt mountains rise dramatically from the sea, separated by deep fjords, secluded alcoves, and hidden valleys. Along the coastline, the relentless power of the ocean has carved majestic sea cliffs that are home to countless birds, creating spectacular natural displays during the summer months. Many of the coastal alcoves and small coves shelter abundant colonies of seals, offering visitors rare opportunities to observe these animals in their natural habitat. Inland, the glaciers of the last ice age have left their mark on the landscape, shaping ancient mountain passes, pristine lakes, and rugged terrain where the Arctic Fox roams freely, adding to the sense of isolation and wildness that defines this extraordinary region.

The Lost Fjords trip is a full-on backpacking adventure designed for those who want to experience Hornstrandir at its most remote and untouched. Participants are self-sufficient, carrying all their equipment and sleeping in their own tents along the journey. This allows for complete immersion in the wilderness, with every step offering new vistas, encounters with wildlife, and moments of solitude in a pristine environment rarely visited by humans. The combination of challenging hiking, breathtaking scenery, and opportunities to witness birds, seals, and Arctic Foxes in their natural surroundings makes this trip a once-in-a-lifetime experience. By carrying your own gear and traveling through this wild landscape, you gain a deeper connection with the raw power and quiet beauty of Hornstrandir, leaving with memories that will last long after the trip ends.
