Patreksfjordur, Iceland

Tucked away in the wild and rugged terrains of the southern Westfjords lies Patreksfjörður, a town small in stature but rich in history and charm. Established around the 9th century, it witnessed a period of prosperity in the mid-20th century, when the fishing industry was at its peak.
