During the years 1870-1914 one out of every five Icelanders fled the country to escape the poor conditions in Iceland.  The Icelandic Emigration Center at Hofsós is an impressive museum telling the story of those who set off west to make a new life in a different country. There is also a genealogical information and educational centre, a conference room, a library and a shop.
