Nestled at the tip of the Troll Peninsula in North Iceland, Fjallabyggð - “the mountain municipality” - consists of the two small townships Siglufjörður and Ólafsfjörður as well as a swath of mountains and coastline. Conference events will take place in Siglufjörður, which features a small grocery store, pharmacy, cafes, restaurants, beautiful local walking trails and a swimming pool. The total overall population of Fjallabyggð today is around 2000 people.
The closest large town is Akureyri, an hour’s drive away. Easy Jet operates direct flights in March 2025 to Akureyri in North Iceland, from London Gatwick and Manchester Airport. The flights are operated twice a week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Information about the flights and bookings can be accessed on the Easy Jet website.
