Iceland is Europe's most otherworldly urbex destination — a sub-Arctic volcanic island where abandoned turf farmhouses are being reclaimed by moss, herring factories the size of cathedrals rust in remote Westfjords fjords, medieval fishing villages collapse into Reykjanes lava fields, and houses swallowed by the 1973 Eldfell eruption on Heimaey island remain frozen beneath hardened lava. The Garðar BA 64 — Iceland's oldest steel ship, beached at Patreksfjörður since 1981 — the Selatangar medieval fishing camp ruins, and the Keflavík NATO base abandoned since 2006 create a derelict landscape found on no other North Atlantic island. Our Iceland Urbex Map compiles 50+ verified GPS locations — all in a single downloadable map.
