Akureyri is a city at the foot of the Eyjafjörður fjord in northern Iceland. In the city center is Akureyri Church, built in the 1940s, with stained-glass windows depicting scenes from Icelandic religious history. The fjord can be seen from the church's courtyard. The nearby Akureyri Art Museum exhibits contemporary works by Icelandic and international artists. To the south of the city is the Botanical Garden, home to plant species from all over Iceland.
