message de Jan In Iceland

Stórhöfði is a peninsula located on Heimaey, the largest island in the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago in Iceland. Known as the windiest place in Europe, it also holds the record for the lowest air pressure observation on land in Europe. The name Stórhöfði means "great cape" and is home to one of Iceland's oldest lighthouses, operating since 1906.

Hiking around is very easy and there're many scenic viewpoints. In the summer it is also a great place to see puffins!
