Svalbarðshreppur (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈsvalˌparðsˌr̥ɛhpʏr̥] ^ⓘ) is a former municipality in northeastern Iceland, between Norðurþing and Langanesbyggð. The municipality was administered from Þórshöfn in the neighbouring Langanesbyggð municipality. The area is known for its salmon rivers.^{[citation needed]} In March 2022, residents of Svalbarðshreppur and Langanesbyggð voted to merge the two municipalities into one, which was formalized in June 2022.^[1]
