Message from Misha Martin

Selfoss is a charming town in southern Iceland, nestled along the Ölfusá river. With a population of around 10,000, it's the largest residential area in South Iceland. Selfoss has a rich history dating back to the 19th century when the first suspension bridge was built over the river, leading to the town's development. Today, Selfoss boasts low unemployment rates, a vibrant community, and a new pedestrianized town center with historical buildings and modern amenities. It's a popular destination for locals and visitors alike, offering a mix of small industries, sports clubs, and cultural events like the "Sumar á Selfossi" festival.
