Höfn í Hornafirði is a relatively new settlement, with people first living there in the early 1800s. It only became a city in 1988 – but a city with only 2,200 residents.

At times like this, I wish I had more superlatives in my vocabulary... I was literally AWE-struck!

Continuing on my 'Walter Mitty' quest, Harry Hyundai and I went in search of the supposed 'Nuuk' airport... Here is a shot from the movie showing the airport... ..and hey presto! Hornafjörður Airport! From here we go searching for a red chair....... http://luxuriousnomad.com/icelands-red-chair/ ~ Bella
