Djúpavík at night
Taken at 5 in the morning after a concert with Sigurrós. The view reflecting in the front door of Hotel Djupavik.
About this place:
Djúpavík is a sheltered bay in the Strandir district of northwest Iceland
It is a remote region, largely untouched by modern developments where silence reigns and nature continues to shape a rugged, mountainous landscape.
Djúpavík Hotel is a building that was formerly the living quarters for women working in a herring processing factory that was built in the bay but fell into disuse many years ago.
Djúpavík leapt to fame in the 1930s when a group of businessmen built a herring factory in the bay. The factory operated until the early 1950s and now contains an exhibition recalling those exciting and prosperous days.
There is plenty to do in and around Djúpavík. Have a look at this page www.djupavik.com
