Eskifjörður

Eskifjörður follows the northern shore of its namesake fjord in Iceland’s Eastern Region, a sheltered coastal position that has long tied the town to fishing and seaborne trade. Steep mountains rise directly from the water around the fjord, defining an Eastfjords setting where roads between communities trace the coast rather than broad lowlands. Fishing remains important locally, and Randulff’s Sea House, a preserved wooden building associated with the trade, recalls the town’s maritime past. Eskifjörður is part of the Fjarðabyggð municipality, which brings together several fjord-side settlements.
