A highway descending towards the fishing village of Geirseyri through a several million-year-old creek valley on Iceland's northern Westfjords region. Iceland's coastal fishing towns, except for their boats' consumption of oil, are supplied almost completely by renewable energy sources. This particular area of Iceland, being very mountainous, hilly and cold, depends on fishing as a greater part of their total industry than areas in the south. As a result, the towns are spread out between quiet, expansive landscapes and connected by windy country roads.
