The Westfjords of Iceland are not just known for their landscapes and beauty but also for their significance in eider duck conservation and eiderdown production. This region, which holds 1/3 of Iceland’s coastline, plays an essential role in providing nesting sites for eider ducks. The long-standing tradition of harvesting eiderdown, passed down through generations, is one of the many ways locals harmonize with nature while sustaining their livelihood.
