Simbahöllin coffee house in Þingeyri.
Þingeyri is a little fishing village in the remote Westfjords. However, basic services are available.

Þingeyri has a gas station (N1) that offers essentials such as bread, drinks, and snacks. For supermarkets and other stores you have to go to Ísafjörður. On the arranged trip to Ísafjörður during the course week, participants will get the chance to shop.

At lunch, soup and light meals are offered in the coffee house Simbahöllin. Arrangements can also be made with the different guesthouses and hotels.

For dinner the local hotel offers food. The coffee house Simbahöllin serves meals with products from the area occasionally and on request. Other arrangements for meals can be made with the guesthouse Við Fjörðinn.

Hotel Núpur on the other side of the fjord has a famous chef who runs the restaurant during the summer time. Trips can be arranged.

Please note that daily lunch and dinner is the participant's own responsibility.

Our community

"Iceland is a place where the four elements seem to be engaged in a constant battle for dominance over the lives of its inhabitants. This provides an exciting, if sometimes demanding, backdrop to the CMM programme. It's hard to imagine an environment better suited to preparing students for the challenges of a career in natural resource management."

Alan Deverell, Great Britain, CMM student 2009-2010
