 Farm Mogilsa is situated at the end of Cove Kollafjordur.
In the early 20th century limestone was quarried on
the property and processed in ovens in the present old centre of the
capital.
In the quarry and its proximity, traces of gold were also
discovered.
The
Icelandic Forest Service acquired Mogisla and set up a laboratory there
in 1967.
The Icelandic Salmon Rearing Centre was founded nearby in 1961
for the purpose of producing salmon fries for release in the rivers
around the country, genetic studies, and salmon release into the ocean.
Many
mountain climbers set off from Mogilsa to conquer Mt
Esja. |
