And no matter how often I visit Dynjandi I always get blown away by its majestic beauty. There are actually 38 different historical remains in this area and the first mention of a farm here is from the Middle Ages. A path leads to the remains of the farm and outhouses.

It is, of course, difficult for the inhabitants of the Westfjords when the main road between north and south closes for such a long time.

It was especially difficult for the companies, which operate both on the north and the south part of the Westfjords.
