Eyjafjordur

Iceland

Eyjafjörður is Iceland's longest fjord, stretching deep into the north of the country to the city of Akureyri. Flanked by mountains and dotted with historic fishing villages, it has been a rich fishing ground and whale habitat for centuries. Cruises along the fjord enjoy whale watching — humpbacks gather in the food-rich waters — views of the high peaks, and access to Akureyri's botanic gardens, church, and the volcanic landscapes of Lake Mývatn beyond.
