Of the ten most dangerous airports in the world, to me Ísafjörður is #11, to say the least. Enjoy the scary flight into the fjord!

The small town is deep in the western fjords of Iceland. I arrived there by bus in the summer of 2013, just for a night. Understanding the location of the airport, I immediately grabbed my little hand-held camera when I saw a plane approaching. My position was almost ideal. Had I had a minute of preparation, I might even have avoided the car and the people. But anyway, I knew there was no second chance.

So, here it is: Mountains. The fjord. And the full approach of the evening plane from Reykjavik. Just watch the almost indecent descent!

And here is the magnificent view of the approach from the plane:
