Höfn (Icelandic pronunciation: ) or Höfn í Hornafirði (Icelandic pronunciation: (listen)) is an Icelandic fishing town in the southeastern part of the country. It lies near Hornafjörður fjord. The town, the second largest in the southeastern part of Iceland, offers scenic views of Vatnajökull (the largest ice cap in Europe by volume). The community was formerly known as Hornafjarðarbær between 1994 and 1998. Höfn is located on a peninsula in the southeast of Iceland. The name Höfn means harbour and it is a fishing port surrounded on three sides by the sea, with beaches on a long shoreline to the southeast. Shoals and glacial rivers traverse this area with many shifting lagoons and sand reefs being formed. Höfn is surrounded by several small islands to the east of the town, the largest of which is Mikley [ˈmɪhklˌeiː], followed by Krókalátur [ˈkʰrouːkaˌlauːtʏr̥] and Hellir [ˈhɛtlɪr̥].
