Seyðisfjörður is a small town in Iceland of around 668 people. It sits at a inner cornder of a fjord, surrounded by mountains. The settlement of Seyðisfjörður began to develop into a trading centre in 1848. Fishing for herring, also known as "the silver of the sea", made the town prosperous. Many of the multi-coloured wooden houses were built in this period by Norwegian merchants and whalers.
