Faxa Bay, Icelandic Faxaflói, inlet of the North Atlantic Ocean on the southwestern coast of Iceland. It indents the coast for 30 miles (50 km) and extends for 50 miles (80 km) between the Snaefells and Reykja peninsulas, to the north and south, respectively. The bay is the largest in Iceland, and its banks form excellent fishing grounds. The main ports along the bay are Akranes and Reykjavík, Iceland’s capital, where much of the Icelandic fish catch (apart from herring) is brought ashore. Shoot 2022
