MJ and I drove about 45 minutes out of our way to visit this village. Seydisfjordur is a super cool little town isolated by itself on the other side of a mountain at the end of a fjord. As you cross over the mountain you go from summer weather with green vegetation to snow and back down through what seemed like dozens of switchbacks to summer weather again. Once you arrive, this wonderful village sits there by itself. The village is sandwiched between the steep mountain face and the ocean.

Honestly, the village is amazing. They have turned this old fishing village into a travel destination. It’s very clean, unique, pretty setting with nice bars, restaurants, stores, and other attractions. If I could go back in time to redo anything about our Iceland trip, I’d change our travel arrangements so that we stayed the night in this town. More time in this spot would have been great.

Anyway, they have this cool photographic street that leads right up to the church. The Icelandic people are very inclusive and embrace everyone including LGBTQ+ members of their society. To the point, they are proud to create and display symbols like this…. It doesn’t require Pride Month for a few to show their support. Iceland supports the LGBTQ+ members every day, including in this tiny rural village…. It was spending a little time with people who are welcoming to everyone…unlike the fair amount of hate we have in the United States.
