Iceland's islands sit near the Arctic Circle, and the Gulf Stream keeps winters milder than the latitude would suggest, while summers bring near-continuous daylight. Puffins nest in burrows on Icelandic islands from spring and leave again by late summer, so a visit in those months adds a chance of seeing them. Þorrablót, a midwinter feast of traditional food, is celebrated on Icelandic islands in January or February.
Hljóðaklettar is reachable from Reykjavik, Akureyri, Vik, Hofn, Selfoss, Keflavik, Husavik and Isafjordur, which gives visitors based in those towns a way to include the site in a wider circuit. The 4.7 rating from 211 reviews places it among the stops that travellers seek out for a detour rather than a passing glance.
