The community was isolated for years by the huge mountains and rough road that led over them. Now it is connected to Ísafjörður by a 5 km tunnel.

The village has tours set up to allow visitors to experience traditional Icelandic life firsthand. This includes going out on original fishing boats or visiting the fish factory in town.

Amenities include a geothermal swimming pool, campsite, hotel and a restaurant. The church was built in 1937.^[1]

Source 2: Icelandic Met Office (precipitation days 1961-90 for Galtarviti-4 km (2.5 mi) from Suðureyri) ^[3] As Galtarviti gets nearly 70 millimetres (3 in) more precipitation than Suðureyri, there might be a significant difference in days with precipitation between them.
