Icelandic fjords, satellite image. This area of Iceland's northern coast is centred on the Eyjafjordur, a deep fjord that juts into the mainland between steep mountains. At its mouth is the small Hrisey Island. The ice-free port city of Akureyri lies near the fjord's narrow tip, and is Iceland's second largest city after the capital Reykjavik. Image data obtained by the Landsat 7 satellite on 21 October 1999.
