The
Bay of the Whooper Swans is the easternmost one on the northern side of
the Snaefell’s Peninsula.
On its eastern side is Mt. Eyrarfjall (382m) and Mt. Ulfarsfell
to the west.
According to the Eyrbyggja Saga, Geirridur, the mother of
Thorolfur baegifotur, had a hall built across the main route past her
farm. There
she offered all passers by free food and beverages.
Her
farm is said to have stood in the short valley Borgardalur above and on
the eastern rise of the bay, but very few traces of it have been
discovered.
