Faxaflói, Reykjavík, Iceland
Faxaflói, formerly known in English as Faxa Bay or Faxe Bay, is a large bay located in south west Iceland between the Snæfellsnes peninsula and the Reykjanes peninsula. The capital of Iceland, Reykjavík, is situated on the southern shore of Faxaflói.
Faxaflói has always been a source of nourishment of the people living on its shore. Historically, fishermen went out in small boats to fish near the shore but today the ships are much bigger but have to go farther out to sea if they wish to catch anything.
Faxaflói is a popular destination for whale watching trips from Reykjavík which set off in search of Minke Whales, Humpback Whales, White-beaked Dolphins and Harbour Porpoises.
