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 country's land area, but their jagged perimeter accounts for more than half of Iceland's total coastline. Black areas represent the sea; light blue snow and ice. Image courtesy of USGS.
