Stykkisholmur 斯蒂基斯霍爾米

Stykkishólmur is the largest town and primary service center on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, located on its northern coastline, overlooking the vast Breiðafjörður Bay. Often referred to as "the town of a thousand islands," it serves as a crucial hub for transport, commerce, and tourism in West Iceland.

The town has a rich history centered around trade and fishing, dating back to the late 16th century when it was first established as a trading post. Stykkishólmur's historical downtown is particularly charming, featuring a collection of well-preserved, colorful wooden houses that date back to the 19th and early 20th centuries, showcasing its Danish-Icelandic heritage. Key cultural sites include the Volcano Museum (Eldfjallasafn) and the Norwegian House, which houses the regional museum.

Stykkishólmur is famous for its busy harbor, which is protected by a small, prominent rocky island, Súgandisey, connected to the mainland by a causeway. This harbor is the departure point for the Baldur car ferry, which crosses the Breiðafjörður Bay to the Westfjords, stopping at the island of Flatey along the way. The island of Súgandisey features a small, red lighthouse and offers fantastic vantage points for viewing the town, the bay, and the surrounding islands.

斯蒂基斯霍爾米是斯奈山半島最大的城鎮和主要服務中心，位於半島北部海岸線，俯瞰著廣闊的布雷扎灣 (Breiðafjörður Bay)。它常被稱為“千島之城”，是冰島西部重要的交通、商業和旅遊樞紐。

這座小鎮有悠久的歷史，以貿易和漁業為中心，其歷史可以追溯到 16 世紀末，當時它最初是一個貿易站。史蒂基斯霍爾米的歷史城區尤其迷人，那裡保存完好的色彩繽紛的木屋群建於 19 世紀和 20 世紀初，展現了丹麥-冰島的文化遺產。重要的文化景點包括火山博物館（Eldfjallasafn）和挪威之家（內設地區博物館）。

斯蒂基斯霍爾米以其繁忙的港口而聞名，港口由一座名為蘇甘迪塞島（Súgandisey）小而突出的岩石島保護，它通過堤道與大陸相連。巴爾杜爾（Baldur）汽車渡輪從這港口出發，橫渡布雷扎峽灣（Breiðafjörður Bay）前往西峽灣（Westfjords），途中會在弗拉泰島（Flatey）停靠。蘇甘迪塞島上有一座小巧的紅色燈塔，是欣賞小鎮、海灣和周邊島嶼的絕佳地點。

Day 7's Notes 第七天的雜記

Beyond the dance of the Northern Lights, Iceland is a geological marvel. Its landscape is a striking tableau of contrasts: towering volcanoes and steamy geothermal areas, vast, desolate lava fields, and serene, crystal-blue hot springs. Frozen titans in the form of ice caps, glaciers, and floating icebergs give way to the rush of countless beautiful waterfalls. Adding a touch of pastoral charm to this elemental stage were the delightful, mixed-color chubby sheep and the sturdy, endearing short-legged Icelandic horses. This journey was more than a broadening of horizons; it was a rare and precious opportunity to forge unforgettable memories with my younger brother and sister, traveling together in a truly carefree and relaxed spirit.

除了絢麗的北極光，冰島本身也是個地質奇觀。它的地形構成了一幅對比鮮明的畫卷：巍峨的火山與蒸汽繚繞的地熱區，廣闊的熔岩原與寧靜清澈的藍色溫泉。冰蓋、冰川和漂浮的冰山如同冰封的巨人，與無數奔騰而下的壯麗瀑布交相輝映。而那些毛色斑斕、胖嘟嘟的可愛綿羊和健壯溫順、短腿的冰島馬，為這片自然舞台增添了一抹淳樸與美好的魅力。這趟旅行不僅是一趟開拓眼界的旅程，更是一次與弟弟妹妹共度難得的珍貴經歷，輕輕鬆鬆無憂無慮瘋瘋顛顛的編織一段難以忘懷的回憶。
