Neskaupstaður

Few towns in Iceland’s Eastern Region have a history as closely tied to the 20th-century herring fisheries as Neskaupstaður. Set along the sheltered Norðfjörður fjord, the town occupies a narrow coastal strip below steep, often snow-covered mountains. Fishing and fish processing remain central to local life, while the harbour gives Neskaupstaður its working character. The Norðfjarðargöng tunnel, opened in 2017, improved the year-round road connection with neighbouring fjords and reduced dependence on the former mountain pass.
