Where You’ll Be: Welcome to Siglufjörður in North Iceland
Our 18-Day Conservation Summer Camp is based in Siglufjörður, a small and beautiful town of around 1,300 people, located in North Iceland. It’s the northernmost town on Iceland’s mainland, surrounded by dramatic mountains on one side and the sea on the other — giving it that unforgettable fjord-town atmosphere you’ll never forget.
Siglufjörður is approximately a 5-hour drive from Reykjavík, and together with the neighbouring community of Ólafsfjörður, it forms part of the Municipality of Fjallabyggð.
This town is full of character and history. Once known as the “Herring Capital of the North,” Siglufjörður was one of Iceland’s most vibrant and prosperous towns during the early to mid-1900s. The herring fishing and processing boom brought people from across Iceland and beyond, creating a lively hub of culture, music, and strong community spirit.
Although the herring era ended in the 1960s, Siglufjörður has proudly preserved its maritime heritage through museums, restored buildings, and local traditions. Today, it’s a peaceful yet active town, loved for its stunning natural surroundings, strong historical identity, and deep connection to Iceland’s fishing roots.
Iceland – Land of Fire, Ice, and Wild Wonder
Iceland is one of the most unique countries on Earth — a place shaped by volcanoes, glaciers, and the powerful forces of nature. From steaming geothermal hot springs and dramatic black sand beaches, to towering waterfalls and endless mountain landscapes, it’s a destination that feels almost unreal.But Iceland isn’t just beautiful — it’s also deeply connected to sustainability and nature protection. Many communities across the country work hard to preserve their landscapes, reduce environmental impact, and inspire more responsible ways of living.
That’s what makes volunteering here so special.Whether you’re watching the sky glow during golden hour, hiking through untouched valleys, or sharing stories with your volunteer team after a day of hands-on work, Iceland has a way of grounding you — reminding you what really matters, and how powerful it feels to contribute to something meaningful in a place this extraordinary.
