Höfn Air Station, originally built during World War II, now functions as a regional airport and houses an aviation museum that tells the story of its military past. Visitors can see vintage aircraft and artifacts, including a restored Dakota plane, and learn about the airfield's role in transatlantic flights. The museum offers a compact but informative experience, while the active runway provides views of small planes coming and going against the backdrop of the surrounding mountains.
