Message from Thrainn Kolbeinsson

Iceland has a long history of fishing and the treacherous seas around the country have claimed many ships. Here is one of those, from 1988, easily accessible from the gravel road that winds around the Hópsnes peninsula.

QUICK NOTES:

  • What it is: A shipwreck on Hópsnes, Reykjanes.

  • Best season: Any.

  • Best time of day: Any.

  • Nice to know: There is also a lighthouse close by.
