Stöðvarfjörður
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stöðvarfjörður is a small village in east Iceland. It sits on a fjord of the same name. It has about 277 inhabitants. Employment was once predominantly found in fishing, though now it is largely textile-based. Most of the young people have left[citation needed], thus the community youth hall has been closed due to disuse.
Steinnsafn Petru (Petra's Stone Museum), is the only formal tourist attraction in the town, and accounts for a modest stream of visitors to the fjord during the tourist season.
