The Sleepy Towns of North Iceland 🇮🇸 | Akureyri, Siglufjordur and Olafsfjordur
3,776
Published 2022-06-24
These towns of the Herring-boom renown are now sleepy little villages with the most charming buildings set against a snow covered landscape, nestled in the fjords. The mostly unsung and highly underrated beauty of the stunning drives across the quiet farms and spectacular cliff drops in North Iceland would be enough to send anyone reeling. A part of the Trolls peninsula, Siglufjordur has the most darling homes & restaurants done up in bright pop colours, while the homes of Olafsfjordur are done up with troll graffiti versions of their occupants. The town of Akureyri, also known as the capital of North Iceland is just as delightful, what with its large ice cream store and many buildings of the yore, well-preserved and mindfully curated.
Suffice to say, North Iceland, devoid of too many tourists, is a must visit on the Iceland Ring Road Trip itinerary.
Have a Good Day Everyone!!
----- ABOUT US -----
Hi! We are Pooja & Shravan, an illustrator-engineer duo from Bangalore brought together by the love of travel and adventure.
We have traveled together since the winter of 2016. On one such trip, we started documenting these travels on a humble phone camera. We soon realised that we really enjoy capturing these experiences. We are entirely self taught (students of the internet) and have learnt from binging on brilliant creators over the years.
In our videos you might find glimpses of places that are not spoken about enough. We always vouch for spots that are somewhat the underdogs. Our vlogs are sometimes vlog-ish and sometimes a documentation of the place as we see it. We hope that watching these videos will bring a little dose of joy to your day.
We love reading your comments and hearing your thoughts.
They motivate us and help us steer our creative path.
With love,
Pooja & Shravan

We would love to connect with you guys here. We are mostly shy and introverted but secretly love it when people push us out of our bubble. So feel free to DM us on Instagram or drop a friendly comment on YouTube

----- CHAPTERS -----
We don't believe in Chapters. Like how music albums that are meant to heard in full not as individual tracks. We believe that our videos are meant to watched as a whole and not as chapters. But a birdy told us that adding chapter helps with reach and growth. So we did a very minimal job. Here goes.
