It’s been 35 years since Ronald Reagan, President of the United States, and leader of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, met at a famous meeting in Höfði to end the Cold War. The meeting marked the end of the Soviet Union. Five years later, in August 1991, the Foreign Ministers of the three Baltic States met in Höfði. At this meeting, Icelanders recognized the independence of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, the first nation to do so.
