Ísafjörður is the unofficial capital and largest town of the remote Westfjords region in northwest Iceland. Home to roughly 2,700 people, it sits on a flat sandspit inside the Skutulsfjörður fjord. Known for its 18th-century wooden houses, vibrant culture, and stunning mountain backdrop, it serves as a central hub for travelers

Why? I don't know.

The bus traveled along the high hills and stopped at a fisherman's house at the edge of the ocean. We stepped carefully along the rim to the water's edge, where the fisherman described his life.
