Cruising the fjord that ends with picturesque Seydisfjordur, it’s easy to understand how its small populace produces such a thriving artistic community. Surrounded by soaring Mt. Bjólfur (3,560 feet) to the west and Strandartindur (3,314 feet) to the east, with waterfalls cascading in every direction, you’ll undoubtedly feel the transformative powers of this Eastfjords town. A leisurely stroll past smartly painted wooden houses reveals small charms like the Bláa Kirkjan (Blue Church), the quaint star of many a Seydisfjordur photo, that perfectly embody this city’s unique style. Watch for reindeer on hillsides and seals and porpoises in the cold waters.
