Ísafjarðardjúp
Ísafjarðardjúp is a large fjord in the Westfjords region of Iceland. Its name translates to Depth of the fjord of sea ice. Originally named simply Ísafjörður, the semantic run around happened through the -Deep meaning the inner parts of the fjord being reapplied throughout the innsea.
