About location

The steep, sea-cut fjords of the Westfjords define much of Súðavíkurhreppur, shaping a sparsely settled coastal district where fishing remains important. Its main settlement, Súðavík, lies beside Álftafjörður, north of Ísafjörður, amid mountains that rise sharply from the water. An avalanche struck the old village in 1995, and the community was subsequently rebuilt at a safer location nearby. Súðavík is also home to the Arctic Fox Centre, which presents Iceland’s only native land mammal and supports research and education.

Country Iceland

Iceland occupies a volcanic North Atlantic island on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, between Europe and North America. Glaciers, black-sand shores and active geothermal areas form a terrain in constant dialogue with the weather; Vatnajökull is Europe’s largest glacier by volume. The Golden Circle links Þingvellir National Park, the Geysir geothermal area and Gullfoss waterfall, while Reykjavík concentrates much of the country’s contemporary culture and design. At Þingvellir, the Alþingi first assembled in 930. Fishing, wool knitwear and geothermal energy remain central to Icelandic life.
