Europe Iceland IS-SEE 6.53. ? Topic #6: Environment 2010-09-08 2010-09-22 N N Ísafjarðardjúp: Nature & Fun in the West Fjords (2) ViewAbstract from Description
=====
LOCATION: The workcamp will take place in the Westfjords in the north-western part of Iceland. The region accounts for 10% of the country’s surface but only about 7200 people live there, so it is one of the least populated areas of Europe. The Westfjords are very mountainous; the coastline is made by dozens of fjords surrounded by steep hills.
In the Westfjords you will be able to explore the whole range of Icelandic flora from the shore and meadows, through birch to mossy moors. On the shore, one can see birds and seals and occasional arctic foxes around the sheep.
Fishing is traditionally the main industry in the region but tourism started to be more and more important as local and foreign visitors are discovering this region in rising numbers.
The workcamp will take place in a valley covered with birch bushes in Mjóifjörður in Ísafjarðardjúp. The distances to the next town and villages are 130 km to Isafjörður and 90 km to Hólmavík. Hiking in this beautiful area is very impressive and an inspection of the coastline by walking or kayaking is an inspiring option
=====
Participation fee EUR 140,- (Euros).
Free time activities will be organized for the volunteers by SEEDS and/or the local hosts free of charge. Place of extreme beauty and isolation; natural surroundings with hot springs, free access to enjoy the hot tub and the local swimming pool; possibility of horseback riding and kayaking in the fjords. The area offers countless opportunities to discover it by foot and to hike to explore the surroundings of the valley.

SEEDS organises the “minibus option”, a shared transport from Reykjavík to the camp site and vice-versa. Apart from being cheaper and more convenient, it allows volunteers to meet fellow campers and have a relaxed trip, while stopping on the way for interesting and tourist sites.
