Seydisfjordur

Today, we are at the charming village of Seydisfjordur. It is at the end of a rather long fiord on the eastern side of Iceland. Because it is surrounded on 3 sides by steep mountains, there are 4 months of the year in which the town gets no direct sunlight. The population swells to 700 in summer.
Since it is a small village, 2 hours for a walking tour was a bit of a stretch and so they took us to the community centre for some tasting treats, refreshments and a folksy concert from a local duo. Here, and generally in the town, you got a sense of a genuine, warm welcome.
A cute place worth a stop-off.Read more
