Egilsstadir
is the capital of the East and Fellabaer is a village

of the East, where the climate is mild in summer and
cold in winter, almost continental. Egilsstadir received its municipal
rights in 1987 and the inhabitants of both communities base their livelihood
on services rendered to the surrounding agricultural areas, tourism and
commerce. Egilsstadir is
the centre of communications for the East with a domestic and an
alternate international airport. |
