How long does golden hour last in Höfn?

Around 93 to 185 minutes each evening. It's shortest in March and September, about 93 minutes, and longest in July, about 185 minutes. In June there's no ordinary evening window: the sun stays high through the night. In January and December the sun stays low all day, so the gold merges into one long window or doesn't come at all. The farther from the equator, the longer it lasts, because the sun crosses the horizon at a shallower angle.

Which way does the sun set in Höfn?

Toward the south-southwest in December, around 208°, swinging to the north-northwest in June, around 340°. Today it sets at 243°, well south of due west.
