Drangsnes, Strandir
Drangsnes is a fishing village, pure and simple. Conveniently located near the fishing grounds, it thrives in its minimalistic ways. In fact, the entrepreneur who runs the local restaurant and one of the guesthouses is a fisherman. He also runs the boat tours to Grímsey. Grímsey island, supposedly formed by a giant trying to dig the Westfjords apart from the rest of Iceland, is the biggest attraction in Drangsnes.

Djúpavík - Hótel Djúpavík
Djúpavík is a sheltered bay in the Strandir district of northwest Iceland.
It is a remote region, largely untouched by modern developments . Where silence reigns and nature continues to shape a rugged, mountainous landscape.
Djúpavík Hotel is a building that was formerly the living quarters for women working in a herring processing factory that was built in the bay early last century but fell into disuse many years ago.

THE FACTORY Djúpavík
The Factory Djúpavík
Djúpavík is located on the isolated Strandir coast. Besides the old herring factory, there are only a few summerhouses and the Hótel Djúpavík. The old factory was built in 1934, and has a long and important cultural history. However, due to overfishing it closed down in 1954. A married couple bought both the factory and hotel in 1985. The family has always worked hard to maintain a life there with their three children, and persistently renovated the factory to prevent it from falling into disrepair. The factory is used for cultural and social events such as concerts (Sigur Rós in 2006), art exhibitions – and most recently as the set for a big Hollywood production in the Fall of 2016. In the last years thousands of visitors have been to the art exhibition The Factory , which will host 23 international artists/artist groups, is held in the old herring factory in Djúpavík from June 1 to August 31.
The focal point of the exhibition is to explore the artist’s personal relation to, and perception of, Iceland. The Factory showcases a multitude of visual arts including sculptures, paintings, photography, mixed media, video and art installations.
Contrasts will merge and unify inside of the old factory. Thus, works will reference the spatial and environmental perception of Djúpavík and of Iceland as a whole.
Opening hours: daily, 9:00-18.30.
