The Grapevine's take
Hvalfjörður
This picturesque fjörd was once part of the Ring Road, but now stands all but forgotten due to the Hvalfjörður tunnel. It’s close to Reykjavík if you’re pushed for time, and packed with interesting spots: there’s the creepy fenced-off whaling station, an abandoned mine, the Glýmur waterfall hike, the remains of a British WWII base, and loads more besides.
