is the only town in the country located in a navigable river estuary.
Its main trades are the fisheries, fish processing,
tourism and commerce.
The spectacular panoramic view,
decorated with numerous glacier snouts and a part of the largest ice cap of the country, is breathtaking.

sea angling and other purposes. The catch belongs to the anglers. The distance from the
