Seyðisfjörður, Port town in eastern Iceland

The town sits between two mountains, Bjólfur at 1085 meters and Strandartindur at 1010 meters, along the southern edge of a deep fjord.

Norwegian fishermen established the settlement in 1848, constructing wooden buildings that remain standing in the town center to this present day.

The LungA Arts Festival takes place each July, bringing together young artists for workshops, exhibitions, and performances throughout the town streets.

The MS Norröna ferry connects the port to Denmark and the Faroe Islands, providing regular transportation services for vehicles and passengers.

The town houses Iceland's first high-voltage alternating current power plant, built in 1913 to provide electricity for street lighting and residential use.
