Siglufjordur is quite honestly the end of the world as far as Iceland is concerned. It is the northernmost town of the entire country. The small fishing village also used to be the herring capital of Iceland. With this famous history firmly in place, many people like to make their way to this tiny town. The midnight sunset is one of the most popular events at this very northern location. The fact that it is at the northern edge of the Tröllaskagi Mountains makes it a lovely hiking and climbing area for adventurous visitors. To memorialise the town's past, a modern sculpture of a gummi boat battling massive waves rests near the shore. One of the biggest attractions in the village centre is the Icelandic Herring Era Museum. It has won awards for its exhibits detailing the “Great Herring Adventure” and the rise and fall of the city's place in Iceland's fishing industry.
