The West Fjords are a series of peninsulas in northwestern Iceland, shown in this false-color satellite image. They represent less than one-eighth the countrys land area, but their jagged perimeter accounts for more than half of Icelands total coastline. Black areas represent the sea; light blue snow and ice.
