Siglufjörður is a small fishing town in a narrow fjord with the same name on the northern coast of Iceland. The population in 2011 was 1,206; the town has been shrinking in size since the 1950s when the town reached its peak of 3,000 inhabitants. Siglufjörður grew up around the herring industry which has since declined. Today it is the site of The Herring Era Museum, a maritime museum which opened in 1994
