Dynjandisheiði

Dynjandisheiði is a mountain pass in the Westfjords region of Iceland that runs between Arnarfjörður and Barðaströnd. The road over the pass has a maximum elevation of 500 metres (1,600 ft). The road was built over the pass in 1959 and was the first car-accessible road to Ísafjörður and the first connection between Ísafjörður and Barðaströnd. The pass is flat and snowy compared to the region as a whole.
