List of cities and towns in Iceland
This is a list of cities and towns in Iceland. Some of Iceland’s larger cities and towns are also self-contained municipalities whose geography and populations are therefore equal. However, most of Iceland’s municipalities, which are semi-autonomous administrative zones, contain several disparate towns or cities, each of whose population contributes to that of its respective municipality.

In addition to Iceland's many independent towns, this article includes cities and towns whose municipalities consist of one, self-contained city of the same name, such as Hafnarfjörður and Akranes. Municipalities that are not also cities or towns, such as Árborg, are not included here, but their constituent towns and cities are. For Árborg, these include the towns of Selfoss, Eyrarbakki, and Stokkseyri.

For more information on the administrative divisions of Iceland, refer to the “Divisions” section of the Iceland infobox on this page.

Life in Grimsey under the Arctic Circle in Iceland

Iceland trip : Troll Tröllaskagi Peninsula & Hraunsvatn hike

Support our channel :

One of most hidden Icelandic gems is Tröllaskagi peninsula, a truly astonishing and fascinating kingdom a bit separated from the rest of the country because of the high and dense mountains which cover it all. The highest point is mount Kerling, Kerlingarfjöll, with its 1538mt, and two fjords flank the peninsula. Skagafjörður on the West is the gateway to northwestern Iceland while Eyjafjörður on the East gets the name from the presence of an island in it: Hrísey, a pleasant green and flat island accessible several times a day by ferry from Dalvík or from the small village of Árskógssandur.

Hraunsvatn hike: The map marks a circuit from Hraun farm to the lake (Hraunsvatn) and beneath Hraundrangi. After a while a faint path appears. Soon enough the lake comes into view. The outflowing river does something very odd: it just disappears into a pile of boulders, and the gully below is bone dry!
The lake is a stunning blue set against the green of the mountains behind.

L'Austral Iceland Cruise Day 4: A Great Day on Grimsey Island

Grimsey Island is the northernmost inhabited (pop: 100) island of Iceland and this day had to be, arguably, the best cruise day. Sunshine, the Arctic Circle crosses Grimsey and passengers stood on the circle to have photos taken, and a gazillion Puffins. Puffins are a member of the Penguin family - it's no wonder Sven in Happy Feet 2 was mistaken as an odd penguin - and even I finally got my fill of Puffins.

If that wasn't enough, the personable captain of L'Austral lowered the zodiacs for a ride along the cliffs on a smooth-as-glass sea. It was a day I'll always treasure.
