It is located in the central north of the country. Situated by the fjord is the country's fourth most populous municipality, Akureyri.
==Physical geography== The fjord is long and narrow and measures 60 km from its head to its mouth. Its greatest width is 15 km between Ólafsfjörður and Gjögurtá at the fjord's mouth, but for the greater part of its length it is mostly between 5–10 km wide.
