April 2013 - Hiking in the West Fjords - Day 3

Continuation of the previous day... Third day hiking in the West Fjords, the clouds are taking over the blue sky and the wind is picking up speed, it's time to start heading back. But before that, I'll get to see the most Northern Fjord of the West Fjords: Hornstrandir. From up there I can see on either North and South side of the Fjord, beautiful views, before not being able to see anything.

This morning I won't leave early, I'll have to spend some time unfreezing my socks and shoes before packing up

I will not see them, nor hear them, but the farmers have come and gone not long ago
