Önundarfjörður, Fjord in Westfjords region, Iceland.

Önundarfjörður extends 20 kilometers between Dýrafjörður and Súgandafjörður, featuring steep mountains that rise directly from the water's edge.

The construction of a bridge across Önundarfjörður in 1980 marked a significant transformation in regional connectivity and local transportation methods.

Traditional Icelandic turf houses near the fjord reflect the historical architectural practices and adaptation to the harsh northern environment.

The fjord is accessible through Vestfjarðagöng tunnel from Ísafjörður, with road numbers 60, 64, 625, and 627 leading to the destination.

Holtsfjara, a golden sand beach within the fjord, contains an extensive dune system that curves naturally into the water.
