Vestfjarðagöng (Vestfirðir Tunnel)
This tunnel is Y-shaped in that it goes from Ísafjörður to Flateyri with the option to turn to go to Suðureyri. We were very impressed with the size of the tunnels we saw in Iceland. They save a lot of time and give access to towns in the winter by tunneling through mountains and under fjords.

Tunnel to Ísafjörður #1, West Fjörds, Iceland, 7/8/07
A long drive through this amazing tunnel - about five minutes or more. You got choked from the exhaust fumes as you passed through it; there's no proper ventilation. A bit dark, this clip.
Tunnel to Ísafjörður #2, West Fjörds, Iceland, 7/8/07
A shorter clip but a bit better quality.

Óshlíð - the most dangerous road in Iceland
Breathtaking scenery and good weather this summer when I rode hist road from Hnífsdalur to Bolungarvík, the most daangerous raod in iceland and you can see why. The road was built in 1949 and just 2 years later it took the lives of 2 people when rocks fell on a Bus. In 2010 the road was cloesed when the 5.4 km long tunnel was opened.

Iceland Travel Deals - Vestfirðir
info@nordictravel.is
The Westfjords or West Fjords is the name for the large peninsula in northwestern Iceland. It is connected to the rest of Iceland by a 7 km wide isthmus between Gilsfjörður and Bitrufjörður. The Westfjords are very mountainous; the coastline is heavily indented by dozens of fjords surrounded by steep hills. These indentations make roads circuitous and communications difficult. The cliffs at Látrabjarg comprise the longest bird cliff in the northern Atlantic Ocean and are at the westernmost point in Iceland. The Drangajökull glacier is located in the north of the peninsula and is the fifth largest of the country, but the only glacier of the region.
