Reydarfjörður

Reyðarfjörður is a long inlet on Iceland's eastern coast, enclosed by steep mountains that rise from the water. The settlement at its inner end takes its name from the fjord, the largest of Iceland's eastern fjords. Clouds and rain often gather around the mountains, though clear summer days can bring surprising warmth. The deep inlet provides shelter from the open North Atlantic, while the surrounding high ground separates its shores from the neighboring fjords.
