Melahverfi

Melahverfi occupies a low coastal stretch on the northern shore of Hvalfjörður in Iceland’s Western Region. The long fjord opens toward Faxaflói, while the Esja massif rises on its southern side, giving this sparsely settled area a clear connection to both sea and mountains. Hvalfjörður also has a notable wartime past: during the Second World War, it served as an important Allied naval anchorage, reflecting Iceland’s strategic position in the North Atlantic. Today, changing weather, tidal water and broad mountain slopes define this rural shoreline. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Hvalfjörður and Iceland’s Western Region.
