Hofn
Hofn, where you have just docked, is the biggest commercial port on Constantine (a subarctic island in the Norse Eyja, Nejiro) and is well known for its first rate ship and boat maintenance, repair, and chandlery services. Fjardaal {aluminium of the fjords} is the largest manufacturer at the port, with a capacity of 345,000 metric tons annually, has its own 690MW hydropower station. Bijon, also located at the port, manufactures tempered glass industrial, commercial, military, and consumer products, the factory outlet store is popular with visitors and locals alike. The Konstantinovich main shipyards and headquarters are north of the port about an hour away; and the Konstantinovich Koichizoku landhold is inland a few hours away near Mount Kerling {Old Hag} amidst the Haukadalr Skogur {valley of hawks forest}. In June the midnight sun lasts twenty to twenty four hours and the Lobster Festival is in full swing. The weather is constantly inconstant, so rain is likely. The temperatures range from an average of nine to a high of fifteen degrees celsius; layering is recommended. Enjoy the hot springs, geothermal pools, saunas, and the glass enclosed indoor swimming pools. At this time of year camping, fishing, kayaking, and hiking is popular, as are the whale watching and puffin spotting tours and the Icelandic horse riding tours. The surf is up at the point breaks and the volcanic reefs with swells up to two and a half meters, especially popular is Sandvik (within thirty minutes) which is a jaw dropping run of over a thousand meters of black-diamond sand with a continuous swell, remember your wet suit as even in summer the water will be around ten degrees celsius. High Street has many shops and galleries with goods from local crafters and artisans as well as imports from across the Sphere. Bars, pubs, and restaurants abound, from quiet cafes to chat to jam packed party venues. Don't miss the beer and food tours. There are live shows and events, nightclubs, brothels and yukaku, casinos and gambling venues, social clubs, burlesque, stand-up, storytellers, cinemas, drag artists, theaters, and sports.
