A sand beach in Whale -fjord ! The name Hvalfjörður is derived from the large number of whales which could be found and caught there. Until the 1980s, one of the biggest whaling stations in Iceland was located in this fjord. In the past the fjord also contained a large number of herring fisheries. During World War II, a naval base of the British and American navies could be found in this fjord. Hope you enjoy ! Thanks for looking and commenting Have a great weekend my friends.

Can you imagine to have a jigsaw of this beautiful photo? Wow that would be difficult with all those clouds and mountains. Many of your photos would make great jigsaws, have you ever thought of offering them to the producers? Happy weekend, Sigga! :)M Smith 17 Sep 2011
