Friday’s guided tour will take you first to Héðinsfjörður, where its spectacular natural beauty is such that a photo shoot will be scheduled! Then on to Siglufjörður, Iceland’s northernmost town and a historic fishing town whose fame and fortune have always been linked to the ebb and flow of the fishing industry. A tiny shark-fishing village in the 1900s, Siglufjörður soon became one of Iceland’s largest towns and the undisputed capital of Atlantic herring fishing.
