Þingeyri

Few settlements in the Westfjords have a history as closely tied to maritime trade as Þingeyri. Set on a narrow spit extending into Dýrafjörður, the village lies beneath Sandafell and faces the broad fjord waters of north-west Iceland. Þingeyri became an authorised trading post in 1787, and fishing later shaped its harbour and community. Its compact settlement remains a useful stop for following the roads around Dýrafjörður and into the mountainous interior, where the weather can change quickly.
