FS-211 Langanes - Birdcliffs "Stóri Karl" - Skálar - Fontur

Marvellous Birding Spot - Culture and History - Lighthouse at Land's End

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 more recently deserted buildings like Skoruvík. Below Skoruvík cliffs is Stóri Karl rock column, one of Iceland's largest gannet colonies. Way out on the eastern shore stood village Skálar from 1910-1946.
