Berufjörður, Coastal fjord in eastern Austurland, Iceland.
Description
Berufjörður is a fjord along the eastern coast of Iceland with steep cliffs rising directly from the water. The waterway is surrounded by rugged mountain terrain and several small settlements along its shores.
History
The fjord's ports have supported fishing and maritime trade since early Icelandic settlements, shaping the region's economic growth. These activities became the foundation of eastern Iceland's development over the centuries.
Culture
The village of Djúpivogur on the western shore blends traditional Icelandic life with contemporary art displays along the waterfront. Visitors can observe how modern creativity coexists with local customs in daily life.
Practical
Route 1, the main road around Iceland, provides year-round access to the fjord. The best time to visit is from May through September when conditions are most stable.

Mount Búlandstindur on the western shore forms a natural pyramid of stacked basalt layers. This striking landform is visible from many points around the fjord and serves as a local landmark.
