Northen charm


	Northen charm This picture was taken near the Haring Museum in Icelandic town Siglufjordur. Siglufjordur is the northernmost town in Iceland, located at the foot of towering mountains on the shore of a small fjord bearing the same name. Fishing and the processing of marine products provide the principal source of employment for the town's 1600 residents, as the settlement has developed around one of the country's best natural harbours. At the beginning of the 20th century this was a tiny, half-Norwegian village, which then grew so rapidly that by the middle of the century Siglufjordur was one of the largest towns in Iceland. There are still a number of reminders that for a long time this was the capital of the herring fishery in the North Atlantic. We can get acquainted with the fantastic history of the herring fishery in Iceland at the Herring Era Museum, the only one of its kind in the world. Marijana Fajgl
