Súðavík

Among the settlements of Iceland’s Westfjords, Súðavík stands out for its position on the shore of Álftafjörður and its story of renewal after a devastating avalanche. Steep, sparsely vegetated mountains rise around this narrow fjord, giving the small community a distinctly northern setting. The 1995 avalanche profoundly affected Súðavík and led to the development of a new settlement on safer ground. The village is also home to the Arctic Fox Centre, which shares knowledge about Iceland’s only native land mammal.
