Stórhöfði

Stórhöfði is the southernmost point of Heimaey Island and also one of the windiest places in Iceland. This location is particularly famous for the large number of puffins that come here each year to nest and raise their young—there are up to one million pairs! At Stórhöfði, there is a bird observatory where you can take shelter from the wind and watch the puffins.

Stórhöfði is the southernmost point of Heimaey Island, and if you go on foot, it will take you about an hour and a half from the harbor.
