Summer for the Wartime Museum and fjord hikes.

An eastern fjord town with a WWII museum, set on Iceland's longest fjord.

Reyðarfjörður lies along Iceland’s longest and widest fjord in the east, a town shaped first by fishing and, in the 20th century, by its role during the Second World War, when thousands of Allied troops were stationed here.

The Icelandic Wartime Museum tells that story, and the surrounding mountains offer good hiking to spots like Grænafell. It’s a convenient base among the tightly clustered Eastfjord towns.
