Hi André,
We have had some difficulty contacting the ranger in the last days so we have not had any updates recently about the area. I would assume that the situation is mostly the same there, with the hiking trails being very fine from Hesteyri to Hornvik. But the eastern part is still quite vulnerable to extreme sudden weather changes. Use caution when travelling in the nature reserve and come with everything you need and leave with everything you brought. My recommendation is to hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. Let me know if I can assist you any further. Perhaps the tourist information centre in Ísafjörður could provide some better insight into the situation there.
Best regards / Með bestu kveðjum

Sounds a bit scary. Take care and happy hiking!
