Isafjordur

This small Icelandic town sits on a sand spit deep in the Westfjords, surrounded by steep mountain terrain and fjord waters on all sides. The largest settlement in the Westfjords region, it serves as the area's main hub and punches above its size with a genuine café and restaurant scene. The old town centre occupies a narrow strip of land where Skutulsfjörður meets the broader waters of Ísafjarðardjúp.
