The northernmost town on the Icelandic mainlandI is the background for this good Blue Blues music but the video was a part of what I brought back from my summer tours but I have a mini documentary in the making about this village for my town series. Raufarhöfn is one of those places that suffered a rather cruel fate after the herring was overfished but this used to be one of the largest herring town, Iceland's Klondyke.

Bankrupt factories and decaying docks became the hallmark of the town for decades to come and it's only now when most of the old garbage is gone and the town is trying re re-invent it self. The harsh climate there will however ensure that this will never became like the ordinary Icelandic tourist town, but it's sure to make an impact in tourism for reasons like how oddly photogenic it is, how friendly the people are, and how remote it is, ensuring a new kind of experience for travellers.

My full mini doc will be online soon and the footage I will be using in it was shot during way better days but this foggy day was my "failed attempt" but this is however how Raufarhöfn tend to look from time to time, and I never planned to sugarcoat anything on my channel. The town is busy, it's hard to find an apartment there despite the lowest real estate price in Iceland for a long time and all who are not lazy can have a job, or so told me a local person the other day.

The Arctic Henge Sundial was a major construction that turned out to be quite successful attempt to bring in more tourists and it adds a little mystical theme to the harsh environment and it' a great photo subject, not lest during summer solstice when the sun never sets around here. Raufarhöfn is just waking up again and I'm glad to see that since I have many memories from this place.
