Jökulfirðir

The Jökulfirðir (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈjœːkʏlˌfɪrðɪr̥] ⓘ, "glacier fjords") form a system of five fjords in Westfjords, Iceland, situated north of Ísafjarðardjúp and south of the Hornstrandir peninsula.

They are named for Drangajökull, a glacier situated to the southeast of the fjords.

The area surrounding the fjords used to be permanently inhabited until the 1960s, but is now occupied only seasonally, as a summer resort.

The fjords cannot be reached by road, but are accessible by boat from Ísafjörður.
