Sculptured by Ice

Ancient glaciers carved these dramatic fjords from solid rock

Iceland's Eastern Fjords represent some of the country's oldest geology, where massive glaciers carved deep valleys through 15-million-year-old basalt mountains. These dramatic fjords stretch like fingers into the landscape, creating intimate waterways surrounded by towering peaks. The region's isolation has preserved traditional Icelandic culture, while the dramatic landscapes provide habitat for diverse wildlife including puffins, seals, and whales.
