Langanes birdcliffs and ruins

Langanes is a
veritable outdoor paradise teeming with birdlife, great for nature study and
hiking as well as some tangible history. A trip to the outlying peninsula is an
unforgettable adventure, passing remnants of ancient farms and deserted buildings
like Heiði. Below Skoruvík cliffs is Stórikarl rock column, one of Iceland's
largest gannet colonies. Way out on the eastern shore stood village Skálar from
1910-1946.
