Um Hvalfjörður – Whale Fjord
Hvalfjörður er 30 km langur fjörður rétt norðan við Reykjavík, uppkallaður eftir þeim mörgu hvölum sem þar fundust áður. Í seinni heimsstyrjöldinni var hann stór flotastöð bandamanna og söfnunarstaður hjálparlesta. Falleg akstursleið umhverfis fjörðinn (vegur 47) tekur um 1,5 klukkustund og liggur hjá upphafspunkti gönguleiðar að fossinum Glym, skrokk oliúflutningaskips frá stríðsárunum á fjarðarbakkanum, gamalli hvalveiðistöð og friðsælli kirkju í Saurbæ. Neðansjávargöng undir firðinum (opnuð 1998) bera umferðina framhjá hinni fallegu akstursleið.

Þjóðsögur
Saga og þjóðsögur
Hvalfjörður (Whale Fjord) is a 30 km long fjord just north of Reykjavík, named for the large numbers of whales once found here. During WWII it was a major Allied naval base and convoy staging point. The scenic drive around the fjord (Road 47) takes about 1.5 hours and passes the dramatic Glymur waterfall trailhead, a WWII oil tanker hulk on the shore, an old whaling station and the peaceful church at Saurbær. The undersea tunnel beneath the fjord (opened 1998) bypasses the scenic drive.
