caption_attribution_description: English: The small community of Siglufjörður in Iceland, with typical Icelandic mountains in the background. The black, small lines on the far right side of the image, on the green mountainside are barriers set up to prevent landslides from reaching the buildings. You can see the church on the lower right side of the image among the other buildings. The photo was taken from an area around the airfield outside Siglufjörður with a Sony video camera.
context_page_description: Siglufjörður is a small fishing town in a narrow fjord with the same name on the northern coast of Iceland.
  The population in 2011 was 1,206; the town has been shrinking in size since the 1950s when the town reached its peak of 3,000 inhabitants.
  The municipalities of Ólafsfjörður and Siglufjörður, connected since 2010 by the Héðinsfjörður Tunnels, merged in 2006 to form a municipality called Fjallabyggð, which literally means Mountain Settlement.
  Siglufjörður is the site of The Herring Era Museum, a maritime museum which opened in 1994. The town forms the setting for Ragnar Jónasson's Dark Iceland series of detective novels. It is also the setting for the first season and much of the second season of the internationally successful Icelandic crime drama television series Trapped.
