Trollaskagi (Tröllaskagi) peninsula

Trollaskagi (Tröllaskagi) peninsula

Trollaskagi (Troll Peninsula) sits between Skagafjordur and Eyjafjordur, its snow-capped mountains rising to 1538m above sea level. 

Dissected by deep valleys, the peninsula was scoured by glaciers during the last Ice Age. 

A few small ice fields are still found here. There is little flat land available for farming and fishing forms the mainstay of the local economy.
