Description
Hvalfjordur (Icelandic: Whale-fjord) is situated in the west of Iceland between Mosfellsbaer and Akranes. The fjord is approximately 30 km long and 5 km wide. The name Hvalfjordur is derived from the large number of whales which could be found and caught there. Until the 1980s, one of the biggest whaling stations in Iceland was located in this fjord.
