Gardar BA 64 Shipwreck

About the place
Deliberately run aground in 1981 rather than scrapped, Garðar BA 64 is the oldest steel-hulled ship in Iceland — built in Norway in 1912 and used for decades as a whaler and herring boat. It now rusts at the head of Patreksfjörður, against fjord and mountain, one of the most photographed stops in the Westfjords. It's free, always open and right beside the road, yet remote enough to have it to yourself on a quiet evening.
