AKUREYRI / DYSNES AREA BEST CHOICE FOR AN OIL BASE
Akureyri is at the end of Eyjafjordur – the longest fjord in Iceland The fjord is narrow (around
6–10 km wide and 60 km long), and is surrounded by mountains. The
sheltered stretch of water at its end (Pollurinn) is the perfect location for a harbour.
