## Description

On Iceland's south-east coast at the mouth of the Hornafjörður fjord, Hornafjörður Airport (IATA: HFN, ICAO: BIHN) is the lifeline airfield for Höfn, the self-styled "Lobster Capital of Northern Europe." Icelandair and Eagle Air fly to Reykjavík (RKV), and HFN carries belly cargo that keeps the town and its fishing industry supplied. The area is also the gateway to Vatnajökull, Europe's largest glacier, and the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. Larger or time-critical air freight consolidates through Keflavík (KEF), Iceland's international cargo hub about 460 road kilometres west.
