Today we visited a fish processing plant in the remote town of Sudureyri, west of Isafjordur, via a ubercool tunnel in the mountain (built in 1996) ... about the tunnel, it is the first one I have ever been into that contained a SPLIT in the tunnel !! There is a T-junction somewhere in the centre, with the distances 2.2km, 5.0km, and 8.2km respectively. I was floored when I saw this. One of the underground junctions was also only 1 lane wide, and there were indents in the rock every 10 meters for one of the directions to drive into to allow incoming traffic to pass. There also wasn't any traffic lights at the junction, only a yield sign! (video to come)
