 Drangsnes is a hamlet at the head of the
Steingrimsfjordur
Bay. It started developing after 1920. A tall rocky
outcrop on the shore is called the Old
Woman, or the Hag, which is said to be one of the ogresses who turned to stone
at sunrise, when they were trying to separate the Westfjords
from the mainland by a large ditch.
Fishing and fish processing are the main bases of livelyhood, and many
visitors call on Drangsnes during summer to enjoy the tranquillity and beauty of
the area.
The distance from Reykjavik is around 300 km.
