"The most popular visiting point in Bolungarvík is the viewing platform on top of Bolafjall Mountain. The place offers a staggering view over Ísafjarðardjúp, Jökulfirðir and some people say all the way to Greenland. To get to Outstanding Bolafjall you have to drive up the road from Bolungarvík up to the radat sation situated at the summit of Bolafjall. The station was built by the Americans but is now controlled by the Icelandic coast guard. Following a visit to Bolafjall, or perhaps even before ascending, we highly recommend taking a coffee break and enjoying a leisurely stroll along the black sand beach in Skálavík."

"Probably one of my favorite spots in the Westfjords.
Observation platform at the top of the mountain, built in 2022 next to an old Radar station used by the US army during the Cold War.
The road to the top is usually open from June to September, check the weather because it can be quite dangerous.
With a good visibility, you can see the Nature Reserve of Hornstrandir, and if you’re lucky you can be above the clouds. "
