Vopnafjordur is a village and fjord in the northeast of Iceland, a quiet, scenic corner of the country well off the busiest tourist routes. The small village sits on a spit in the fjord of the same name, surrounded by mountains, river valleys and coastline. The area is especially famous for its salmon rivers, among the finest in Iceland, which draw anglers from around the world, and for wide, empty landscapes of great beauty. Nearby are the Selardalur valley with its geothermal Selarlaug swimming pool, birdlife including puffins, and links to Icelandic heritage, as the district features in the medieval sagas and is connected to the emigration story of Icelanders who left for North America. Vopnafjordur is reached by road, on a route off the main ring road in the northeast, and by a small airport. The climate is cool and maritime, with mild summers and cold, snowy winters.
