Mjóifjörður – Remote Eastern Fjord
Mjóifjörður is one of Iceland's most remote and rugged fjords, accessible only by a narrow, largely unpaved mountain road from Reyðarfjörður. The fjord is home to about 15 permanent residents and one of Iceland's few remaining hand-operated ferries. Dramatic waterfalls cascade directly into the fjord, the most spectacular being Klifbrekkufossar — a multi-tiered cascade dropping 100 m. The solitude and raw scenery make it a favourite for adventurous visitors.
