Akrar (Skagafjörður)

Akrar is a cluster of farms at the base of Akrafjall mountain in the Blönduhlíð district of Skagafjörður, Iceland. There are four farms, located in close proximity, collectively named Akratorfa: Minni-Akrar, Stóru-Akrar, Höskuldsstaðir, and Miðhús. Akrar includes the Akradalur valley, which goes far into the mountains east of Blönduhlíð.

The lögréttumaður Eggert Jónsson had a residence in Akrar, but his son Jón Eggertsson managed the abbey in Möðruvellir. There used to be a ferry landing on the Héraðsvötn at Akrar, and by 1930, it was the last cable ferry.
