Memory lane
I have forgotten the name of this place, and even the name of the coolest falls in Iceland, but what I know that this is located in Western Fjords and that Sólver's countryside is just around the left corner you can see on the photograph. I was so close visiting a household, which has been mentioned as one chapter in the book Icelanders.

The name of the inlet is Dynjandisvogur in Arnarfjörður fjord, taking it’s name after the cascating waterfall complex Dynjandi behind the photographer. Dynjandi means some presence that makes a din. The top waterfall that looks like a trapezoid is Fjallfoss (Mt. Waterfall). Another interesting tidbit is that during the retreat of the nothern hemisphere glacier during the Iceage that the glacier burrowed/drilled so deeply at exactly at this part of the fjord you photographed that this is actually one of the deepest fjords in Iceland. This part is so deep that, judging by hydromaps, it does not reach such depths until midway between the Westfjords and Greenland! :)
Thank you for the names, Soli!
