Activities
Heliskiing
Only a few places in the world offer such various terrain for perfect heliskiing/heliboarding as Troll Peninsula, north Iceland. Troll Peninsula is named after trolls that are, by the legend, still living in the mountains. Troll Peninsula lies between two fjords – Skagarjörður and the longest fjord in Iceland, Eyjafjörður.

Segull 67
We are a small family owned craft brewery located in fishing village of Siglufjörður, Iceland, my grandfather, my father and I, as well as the family helps out. The brewhouse is in an old fish factory that we have designed and adapted. Segull means magnet in Icelandic and we are connecting it to the magnet needle (magnetic noth) in the compass. The magnetic needle always turns north no matter where you are. 67 has long been a lucky numer in the family, my great grandfather drove his truck with the number F67 and my grandfather sailed the seas with the boat number SI67

Swimming pools
North Iceland has numerous swimming pools, mostly outdoors. These are nearly always fed with fresh, clear geothermal water, although a few swimming pools are heated in other ways and are usually indoors. While many decades ago Icelandic pools were built in order to teach people to swim, supplemental services have been added with time, including hot tubs, saunas, steam baths, tanning tables, water slides, children's and splash pools, and play equipment
No better spot is imaginable for re-tanking physically and mentally on a cold autumn or winter day, or after the strain of a hiking or skiing trip, than a swimming pool with its hot tubs and saunas.
Swimming brings health and beauty!
Siglufjörður Folk Music Center
The Siglufjörður Folk Music Centre is located in one of the oldest houses in Sigufjörður, Madame House where the pastor Bjarni Þorsteinsson lived from 1888 to 1898. The centre brings to life the world of Icelandic folk music. Visitors can see video recordings of people of all ages chanting epic poetry (rímur), singing quint-songs (tvísöngur), reciting nursery rhymes, and playing folk instruments such as the langspil (similar to dulcimer) and the Icelandic violin (fiðla). In 2012 the Folk Music Centre received a special award from the Minister of Education and Culture for its contribution to Icelandic culture on the Icelandic Language Day.
