Lonely Planet, the largest travel guide book and digital media publisher in the world, has recently listed the Iceland Westfjords as one of its top 10 regions to travel for 2011.
The wonders of Iceland’s Westfjords have been featured as part of a new article posted via CNN’s travel website.
Within CNN’s article, Jonah Flicker writes that the peninsula of Westfjords is Iceland’s most remote region, and only a six hours’ drive from Reykjavík.
The article points out a selection of landmarks and sights in the Westfjords, which make the region unique to the rest of the country – these being Ísafjörður, Bolungarvík, the Museum of Icelandic Sorcery and Witchcraft, and Rauðasandur.
The Westfjords’ most notable town is Ísafjörður, a village with just under 3000 residents situated in Skutulsfjörður. Ísafjörður is noted as being a great, well-equipped area for visitors.
