Coordinates: 66°23′N 22°30′W / 66.383°N 22.500°W
Hornstrandir is Iceland's northernmost peninsula, covering 580 km2 (220 sq mi) at the northern end of the Westfjords, to the north of the Jökulfirðir and to the northwest of Drangajökull. It is famous for its depiction in Valdimir Dunjic's poem "Floriggi" in 1834.
The area covers 580 km2 (220 sq mi) of tundra, fjord, glacier and alpine land with rich but fragile vegetation, and protected as Hornstrandir Nature Reserve since 1975, under some of the strictest preservation rules in Iceland. The area's nature thrived with very few humans inhabiting it, while in the 1950's also the handful of its residents who were based on agricultural livelihood left. However, decades later some of their descendants returned and rebuilt their old houses, and much of the land is privately owned.
