Hornstrandir 66.45°N | Ragúel Hagalínsson

Hornstrandir. Iceland’s most remote corner. It was populated for centuries by hardy people who were mostly self-sufficient; there was no road access and the harsh winters were often so brutal that boats couldn’t come for weeks. After 1930 the community in Hornstrandir slowly started to fade away as people started moving to other parts of Iceland in search of more promising job opportunities. Some of these families never returned, but others visited their homes every summer, allowing the next generations to experience life at the edge of the world. “I came here to Hornstrandir first in 1994, the year I was born, and have come nearly every summer since then” says Ragúel Hagalínsson, guide, avid outdoorsman and ranger in Hornstrandir during the summer months. His forefathers lived here for generations. His grandmother was born and raised in Hornvík bay, but moved with her parents and eight siblings to Ísafjörður as a young woman. Ragúel’s family home, Stígshús house, has remained in his extended family since then and is frequently used, allowing new generations of Hornstrendingar to learn to enjoy the solitude and dramatic nature of the area from an early age.
