Product Description
Just north of Reykjavik there is a impressive area, a bay called Hvalfjordur. Carved in to the west coast lies a three bottomed bay with it’s spectacular mountain scenery. A tour to Whale Bay is just an hour away from Reykjavik. An area so rich of history and framed with steep mountains, dropping almost straight into the sea. A photographer’s delight.
Hvalfjordur used to be regularly visited by fish migrating to the north and now and then is visited by whales. The topographical name “Sildarmannagotur” (Herring Path) stems from these times.
The highest waterfall of the country, Glymur, is in Hvalfjordur but it is a three hour hike from the road and some difficulties to reach. There are three fine salmon rivers in the area.
The convoys of the allies (England and The United States) used to seek shelter in Hvalfjordur on path to Murmansk during the Second World War.
