Evening view from the slopes of Sandafell in N direction to Þingeyri and across Dýrafjörður. This type of landscape characterized by U-shaped valleys and fjords is typical for the Westfjords, where volcanic activity has ceased long ago and Pleistocene glaciers have carved the terrain. Þingeyri represents one of several small and formerly remote villages on the sparsely populated peninsula in the very NW of Iceland. Starting with 1996, road tunnels have eased the connection to the rest of the World.
