More beauty of Whale-fjord ! Until the late 1990s, those traveling by car had to make a long detour of 62 km around the fjord on the (road no.1), in order to get from the city of Reykjavík to the town of Borgarnes. As of 1998, the tunnel of Whal-fjord, which shortens the trip considerably, was opened to public traffic. The tunnel is approximately 5,762 m in length, and cuts travel by car around the fjord by about an hour. The tunnel runs to a depth of 165 m below sea level. Thanks for looking and commenting ! Have a great day my friends.
