As you go to Siglufjordur, you'll pass through three tunnels, each offering its unique perspective on Iceland's natural beauty. The fourth tunnel will lead you to a breathtaking viewing point, where you can take in the panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and fjords.

Finally, you'll arrive in Siglufjordur, a charming town nestled in a narrow fjord on the north coast of Iceland. You'll have plenty of time to explore the town's unique museums, galleries, and restaurants here.
