The fjord is a northern side fjord of Breiðafjörðurs . It is 1.5 km wide and extends 10 km into the country. The western bank forms the headland Svínanes . On the east bank, a slope runs into Kollafjörður on the Bæjarnes peninsula. At the exit of the fjord there are some small islands. Inside in Kvígindisfjörður there was the courtyard of the same name.
