Svalbarðshreppur

Svalbarðshreppur (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈsvalˌparðsˌr̥ɛhpʏr̥] ⓘ) is a former municipality in northeastern Iceland, between Norðurþing and Langanesbyggð.

The municipality was administered from Þórshöfn in the neighbouring Langanesbyggð municipality.

The area is known for its salmon rivers.

[citation needed] In March 2022, residents of Svalbarðshreppur and Langanesbyggð voted to merge the two municipalities into one, which was formalized in June 2022.
