Regions

The East Fjords

The quiet side

The East Fjords are the island's least visited coast: fjords lined with small villages, wild reindeer in the hills and dramatic peaks such as the black dunes beneath the horn-shaped mountains of the southeast.

Best season: Summer; winter for solitude · [ 65° 15′ 36″ N, 14° 00′ 36″ W ]

Snowy peaks beneath a night sky full of stars

Steep mountains, small harbours and the quietest roads in Iceland.
