    [description] => 

Iceland’s western coastline is the country’s most inaccessible region; however, it is arguably its most beautiful. The Westfjords region occupies approximately one-fifth of Iceland’s total landmass but is home to just over 7,000 people, making it the most sparsely populated region in the country. It is for this reason that the wildlife of the Westfjords thrives, being home to the largest population of Arctic Fox in the country, concentrated within the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve in the north. Accessible only by boat, and with no permanent human settlement since the 1950s, the reserve was set up in 1975 to enforce the protection and conservation of Iceland’s only terrestrial mammal. Due to the lack of persecution, individuals here are more approachable than anywhere else in Iceland, and we’ll dedicate time to searching for these beautiful creatures. During our time here we will also enjoy Iceland’s many other creatures, including Humpback Whale, Minke Whale, Harbour Porpoise and White-beaked Dolphin from a dedicated cetacean-watching boat trip, as well as a variety of seabirds, waders and waterfowl, all in bright breeding plumage, set within the spectacular scenery of Iceland’s Westfjords.

  • Search for Arctic Fox at Hornstrandir Nature Reserve
  • White-tailed Eagle, Slavonian Grebe, Ptarmigan & possible Gyrfalcon from Snaefellsnes 
  • Enjoy the spectacular scenery of the Westfjords 
  • Minke and Humpback Whales, plus Glaucous & Iceland Gulls from Holmavik 
  • Watch waders and waterfowl in summer breeding plumage 
  • Seabird colonies home to various auk species including Brunnich’s Guillemot
  • Led by an expert naturalist guide 
[introduction] => A 7-day holiday amongst dramatic scenery in search of Arctic Fox, as well as the country's breeding birds and cetaceans. [edges] => Array ( ) [locations] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [name] => Iceland [description] =>

Iceland is an extraordinary country, forged from volcanic eruptions along the burning boundary between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. Great forces have wrought a spectacular landscape, replete with towering glaciers, moss-covered lava fields, bubbling mud pools, and plunging waterfalls. Situated at the edge of the Arctic Circle, Iceland experiences near-constant daylight in the height of summer, while the deep night of winter reveals the ethereal shifting colours of the Northern Lights.

Ecologically, the country sits at the meeting point of the Palearctic and Nearctic faunal regions, making it a remarkable melting pot for a host of species with otherwise disparate distributions; it hosts the most westerly breeding Eurasian Wigeon and White Wagtail, and the most easterly Great Northern Diver, Harlequin Duck, and Barrow’s Goldeneye. Other iconic species of the country, such as Gyrfalcon, Orca, Arctic Fox and Atlantic Puffin are no less thrilling to encounter. Overall wildlife density may be relatively low, but the opportunity to observe Iceland’s northern specialities amongst a fairytale landscape of fire, rock and ash makes it a deeply rewarding destination for naturalists.

Summary

Iceland’s western coastline is the country’s most inaccessible region; however, it is arguably its most beautiful. The Westfjords region occupies approximately one-fifth of Iceland’s total landmass but is home to just over 7,000 people, making it the most sparsely populated region in the country. It is for this reason that the wildlife of the Westfjords thrives, being home to the largest population of Arctic Fox in the country, concentrated within the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve in the north. Accessible only by boat, and with no permanent human settlement since the 1950s, the reserve was set up in 1975 to enforce the protection and conservation of Iceland’s only terrestrial mammal. Due to the lack of persecution, individuals here are more approachable than anywhere else in Iceland, and we’ll dedicate time to searching for these beautiful creatures. During our time here we will also enjoy Iceland’s many other creatures, including Humpback Whale, Minke Whale, Harbour Porpoise and White-beaked Dolphin from a dedicated cetacean-watching boat trip, as well as a variety of seabirds, waders and waterfowl, all in bright breeding plumage, set within the spectacular scenery of Iceland’s Westfjords.
