We had an amazing day!

The weather was clouded and fog was flowing up and down the mountains, adding a mystical touch to the landscapes.

As soon as we reached the top of the first climb, we took a break and observed the water in the fjord… we couldn’t believe it! A whale was peacefully swimming and we could watch her come to the surface to breathe several times… it was amazing!

We then spent the rest of the hike trying to escape the rain.

We even spotted many arctic foxes along the shores… they are so cute and curious! A family of foxes was also looking for food at the beach near the campground… it was really nice to watch the cubs playing with each other.

There were many hikers at the campground in Hornvík. We set up our tent, had some snacks (probably more than necessary) and immediately fell asleep for a few hours… we woke up at 19:00, confused and not hungry at all. It was cold outside, so it took us a while to gather our willing power to get out of the sleeping bag and cook dinner.

We had lentils and fajitas and shared chocolate with our neighbor, a man from Belgium on his way to spend 8 days in the Hornstrandir peninsula.
