It was a chilly but beautiful today in Isafjordur! Here are the views from our balcony when we opened the curtains this morning - straight ahead and looking to the left.

Flanked on 3 sides by towering mountains, Isafjordur is a perfect natural harbor. Fishing is the area's main source of income.
Some passengers visited the Maritime Museum; others went to see the Dynjandi Waterfall, or to see whales or puffins. Still others hiked up a short way, while a few hiked really far up (on top photo) which looked quite scary. There would be nothing to stop them if they tripped and slid their way down!
We saw a lot of this area when we visited in 2024, so we didn't get an excursion this time. Instead we just walked around the town for a couple of hours. Viking and Princess also had large ships in this port today, so it was a good business day for the local merchants!
I'll post some of the photos I took in the order taken as we walked toward the business area.

We were awake by 5 a.m. this morning, so we were back to the ship shortly after noon. Our afternoon consisted of reading, naps, Team Trivia and Mensa (Ronnie). We had a nice dinner with a couple from Nova Scotia. All in all, a very nice day!
