Stöðvarfjörður

Among settlements in Iceland’s Eastern Region, Stöðvarfjörður stands out for Petra’s Stone Collection, assembled over decades by local resident Petra Sveinsdóttir and devoted to Icelandic rocks and minerals. The village occupies the inner shore of the fjord of the same name, one of the deeply cut inlets that define the Eastfjords coast. Fishing has long shaped the settlement, and its harbour remains an important local feature. Petra’s collection provides a personal, place-based introduction to the geology beneath this volcanic island. Roads through the Eastfjords link small coastal communities beneath steep slopes, where sea, weather and mountain terrain set the pace of travel.
