Hvalfjörður, The Whale Fjord, in the Western part of Iceland.

Hvalfjörður, also known as the Whale Fjord, is located in West Iceland. In here, you will find Glymur, the second highest waterfall in the country: approximately 198 meters high.

The landscape of Hvalfjörður is beautiful: a lot of trees, a thermal pool, and an old military base. In 1998, an undersea tunnel was constructed for public traffic, so now Hvalfjörður is a very calm place.
