Iceland's fascinating fjords

Although the mountains and rivers of Iceland are not as lush as those in Norway, they still have their own unique scenery. You can also enjoy waterfalls of various sizes and colorful geological wonders.

Hvalfjörður (Whale Bay)

Whale Bay is open all year round, with different scenery in each season. It has a unique charm in the snowy winter.

Borgarfjörður

Borgarnes is a famous town in Iceland, a must-stop between Reykjavik and Akureyri. The delicious ice cream and snacks sold in the town attract passing tourists. However, do not confuse Borgarfjörður with Borgarfjörður Eystri. 'Eystri' means 'easternmost' in Icelandic, so Borgarfjörður Eystri is on the east coast of Iceland.

Westfjords

The Westfjords is the most isolated region of Iceland, but it is not unreachable, as the famous Route 1 ring road passes through here. Some roads in the Westfjords are gravel roads, and because they pass through highland areas, they are quite dangerous and are closed during the winter.

Southern Loðmundarfjörður Fjord

In the southern part of Loðmundarfjörður Fjord, you will see a 'competition of beauty' among the fjords; it is a fjord paradise with countless beautiful sceneries.

Eyjafjörður (Island Fjord)

Eyjafjörður is a wide and expansive fjord, adorned with the beautiful small island of Hrísey. Hrísey Island attracts a large number of tourists with its unique scenery, and cruise ships often stop here; taking a ferry is also a good option, allowing you to experience the thrill of sailing on the Arctic Sea.
