Explore the magnificent Snæfellsnes peninsula in the winter.

The Snæfellsnes peninsula has such a unique landscape. It is full of beautiful beaches and coves, fishing villages, waterfalls, high mountains and the home to the famous Snaefellsjokull Glacier. In the past farmers would send their workers to the coast in the middle of the winter to fish cod. It was a tough and dangerous job. Many hundred men were sometimes staying by Djupalonssandur or in other coves in Snaefellsnes for months at a time. At Bjarnarhofn farm they no longer catch the Greenland shark but they are among the only ones in Iceland that still process the shark today. If interested we can pay them a visit (not included in price). In the winter we always have the chance to view of the Northern Lights in the evening. The days are short and the nights are long. We travel in a sturdy and spacious 4 x 4 truck.
