It is one of the few cities with a harbour at this coast. Most of the 1500 inhabitants are living from the fishing industry.
There is an esoteric center in the town.
A rather famous Icelandic writer was born here: Guðbergur Bergsson.
Some kilometers to the north, there is the so-called Blue Lagoon (is. Bláa Lónið), a swimming pool using hot and mineralized waters from the near-by power station Svartsengi.
