The peninsula Munaðarnes with the headland Krossnes separates the fjord to the south from Norðurfjörður , to the north are the headland Seljanes and Ófeigsfjörður . The name, the fjord from the land lessee Ingolf Herröðarson. His brothers Ófeigur and Eyvindur settled north in fjords, which were also named after them.
