The image below was not taken by us, but it illustrates the geography really well, so we have used it.

The town of Ísafjörður is the capital of the Westfjords region. The town centre and the port are located on a spit of sand, or eyri, in Skutulsfjörður, a small fjord which meets the waters of the larger Ísafjarðardjúp fjord.

After sailing from open sea into the larger fjord earlier, we turned right into the smaller fjord and through the channel close to the runway, before turning right and right again to dock at the port in the centre of this image.

After disembarking, we were taking by coach along the shoreline towards the houses in the foreground before turning right to go towards the Dynjandi Waterfall. Later, when we sailed away, we were lucky enough to see a plane taking off from the airport right next to the ship.
