On a wind-swept morning the van peels away from Akureyri and the coast opens like a map folded along fjords. Mountains pitch steeply into cold water, gulls wheel over black sand, and tiny harbors—Hjalteyri, Dalvik, Ólafsfjörður—fit into coves like old boats tied to shore. The guide points out the Troll Peninsula across the mirror-flat fjord; its serrated ridges are old seabed pushed skyward, and the road threads between rock and sea, giving frequent pullouts for photos and short walks.
