    The town's heyday was in the 1940's and 1950's when herring dominated Iceland's economy. Worth seeing is the church from 1929 and the monument "Arctic Henge" (Heimskautsgerði). Raufarhöfn is the northernmost town on the main island.

    Even here in the far north, ecological issues are a big issue... as the innkeeper said... the fish that is caught here has to be taken to the capital first... you can buy it there and then process it here again... shake your head!

    He added with a wink... if you take the regular route
