Region/Country: Region/Land: West Fjords, Iceland
Fjord in the Northwest of Iceland, and an important trading harbour for German merchants, who sailed to it under the name Iseforde in Schiffelsforde (which refers to Skötufjörður, a fjord to the East of Ísafjörður). Likely, the entire Northern part of the Northwestern peninsula of Iceland was meant here, i.e. the area around the fjord Ísafjarðardjúp.

Hamburg
Hamburg to king Christian IV of Denmark: witness accounts of eight persons who sailed with Johan Holtgreve from Helsingør to Spakenefeldshovede in Iceland, who was accused by Copenhagen merchants that he interfered with their business by visiting the harbour Botsand. They tell how they could not reach Spakenefeldtshovede because of the sea ice, and were welcomed by the locals in Botsand because the Danish merchants in Kibbelwick would not trade with them.
