Akureyri is positioned at the bottom-west side of the fjord Eyjafjörður. It is surrounded by mountains, the highest being Súlur 1213 m (3980 feet) and Hlíðarfjall 1116 m (3661 feet). Because of the town's position at the bottom of a long fjord surrounded by high mountains, the climate is actually more inland than coastal, meaning greater variants in temperature (warmer summers, colder winters) than in many other parts of Iceland. The surrounding mountains also shield the town from strong winds. |
