Kálfsvísa

Kálfsvísa is a small, uninhabited cove located on the northern coast of Iceland, specifically in the Strandir region of the Westfjords. The name translates roughly to "Calf's Inlet" or "Calf's Creek".

Kálfsvísa is historically significant as it was once a small fishing village, though it has been abandoned for several decades. Its remoteness and the harsh environment of the Strandir region contributed to its eventual depopulation. Access is typically only possible by hiking or by boat.

The cove is known for its dramatic landscapes, characterized by steep cliffs, rugged coastline, and the arctic vegetation that survives in the area. It's also notable for its relative isolation, offering a glimpse into a past way of life in Iceland and the challenges faced by communities living in such remote locations. While there are no permanent residents, Kálfsvísa is sometimes visited by hikers and those interested in exploring Iceland's historical and natural heritage.
