West Fjords
Image taken 6/6/2000

The West Fjords are a series of peninsulas in northwestern Iceland. They represent less than one-eighth the country's land area, but their jagged perimeter accounts for more than half of Iceland's total coastline.

 

The West Fjords can be found on Landsat 7 WRS Path 222 Row 14, center: 65.59, -23.07.

Peninsulas, like fingers stick out, covered with mountains
