[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Westfjords is a peninsula in northwestern Iceland. It is connected to the rest of Iceland by a 7 km wide isthmus. The Westfjords are very mountainous; the coastline is heavily indented by dozens of fjords surrounded by steep hills. The Drangajökull (glacier) is located in the far north of the peninsula and is the fifth largest of the country, but the only glacier of the region.

The lack of flat lowlands in the area makes it unsuitable for agriculture, but good natural harbors in many of the fjords and closeness to fishing areas are vital for the local economy.
