AT L A N T I CA 55
Remains of the day: an abandoned whaling station used to
store whale oil. Musician Önundur Pálsson, a native
of Flateyri, a small town in the West Fjords, plans
to remodel the cylinder tank into a
state-of-the-art music studio.
“Easy living is what life in Sudureyri is all about. The pace
is slow, the air clean. There’s not much to
do around here, but the cod
keep coming...”
The mayor of Ísafjördur, Halldór Halldórsson.
