Þórshöfn

Þórshöfn is a small fishing village in northeast Iceland, located on the Langanes peninsula in a fjord called Þistilfjörður. The village has a population of 400 to 500 people. In Þórshöfn there is a year round service to tourists. In the spring time (may-june) seabirds (guillemot and kittiwake) lay their eggs in the cliffs at Langanes and for those interested there may be an opportunity to watch egg gatherers at work in the cliffs. The Langanes peninsula is a great place for bird watchers and holds the third largest gannet nesting place in the world.
