    One of the most striking features of the peninsula is Mount Vestrahorn. At 454 meters high, it rises majestically into the sky and is a popular destination for photographers from all over the world. The mountain offers spectacular views of the surrounding landscapes and is a popular photo subject at any time of day.

    In Iceland, one of the first settlement farms was built by Hrollaugur, the son of Count Rögnvaldur of Møre in Norway, and was named Horn. The municipality of Hornafjörður and several nature reserves were named after the settlement farm. Horn means the same thing in Icelandic and English.
