Grundarfjörður is a small town on the northwest coast of Iceland with a population just under 900 people focused on fishing and fish processing. It has also recently become a center for tourism due to the allure of the landscape around the town. Nearby Kifkjufell is considered to be one of the most beautiful mountains in Iceland and the town is also used as a base to explore the Berserkjahraun lava fields.
Our ship pulls into the harbor and we walk on the paths around the edge of town to admire the waterfalls and other scenery.
