About This Seaport
Once Iceland's second-largest herring station with up to eleven salting plants and more than 2,000 seasonal workers during the early-20th-century herring boom, Raufarhöfn (UN/LOCODE ISRAU) today counts only around 200 permanent residents. The natural harbor, sheltered by the Höfðinn headland at Iceland's northernmost mainland point, now has limited commercial cargo relevance and serves mainly the local fishing fleet. It is administered as a satellite facility of the Port of Húsavík, roughly 100 km to the southwest, the nearest port for larger freight.
