Reyðarfjörður

Reyðarfjörður has served as a trading settlement in Iceland’s Eastfjords since the late 19th century. It stretches along the shore of Reyðarfjörður, a deep fjord opening towards the North Atlantic, with steep slopes and snow-prone highlands rising behind the built-up area. During the Second World War, the settlement became an important Allied military base; the Icelandic Wartime Museum documents this period. Today Reyðarfjörður is part of the Fjarðabyggð municipality and has a working harbour and the Fjarðaál aluminium smelter nearby.
