Raufarhofn

Iceland's northernmost town, Raufarhöfn sits on the northeastern tip of the Melrakkaslétta peninsula, within walking distance of the sea. This compact fishing hamlet has operated a staffed weather observation station since 1920. Fishing remains the primary livelihood, and the settlement has been classified as a vulnerable community due to significant population decline since the early 2000s.
