Michal Mogila has created a lovely aerial video of his hometown of Akranes, west Iceland. Michael, who is from Poland, spent twelve months filming, capturing Akranes’ charm in all seasons.
“Akranes is a beautiful but underrated town. I love living here and do my best to promote the town,” he told Morgunblaðið.
Akranes is located 40 minutes north of Reykjavík. The coastal town was settled in the 9th century by two Norse-Celtic brothers named Þoróður and Ketill. In the mid-17th century, a small village began to form in the area in connection with Iceland’s growing fishing industry.
The city councils of Reykjavík and Akranes have begun to look into the possibility of establishing a ferry service between the two towns, starting next summer. The ferry would make six crossings between Akranes harbour and Reykjavík’s city centre daily – shortening the commute to Reykjavík by 20 minutes.
