Description
Siglufjörður is a small fishing town in a narrow fjord with the same name on the northern coast of Iceland. The town grew up around the herring industry that was in much bloom in the 1940s and 1950s, but the herring is gone now. Population of Siglufjörður in 2004 was 1,386 but the town has been shrinking in size since the 1950s when the town reached its peak with 3000 inhabitants.
