Icelandic fjords

Description
Welcome to the stunning fjords of Iceland! This is a real word heightmap (with some slight modifications) of Eyjafjörður, a fjord located in northern Iceland. This map mostly contains of one long and narrow valley connected to the sea and surrounded by vast mountains. In total there is very little flat buildable land.

The starting tile has been nicely laid out to be almost flat. There is both a highway and train connection, lots of wind power and a fast and strong river so you will not need to worry about sewage. Additionally there is two strong water drains placed in the bay that should take care of any amount of sewage later in the game.

There is plenty of natural resources. Almost all flat land is suitable for farming. There is two big paches of oil in the map, one just across the river in the starting tile and one hidden away from the main valley. The mountains contains lots of ore.

Feedback is much appreciated.

Big thanks to reddit user willglynn for this tool terrain.party that lets you import real world heightmaps into Cities: Skylines.

The following mods are recommended

- Some sort of mod that lets you unlock all 25 tiles.
- Terraform tool

Why do map creators make this kind of obscenely exaggerated elevations? This kind of insanely vertical wall is not found in real life, so why exaggerate it? Makes a map unplayable for me

No flowing water.

@fallenleave1989 I do not own the Snowfall expansion, sorry but you can use the "Environment Changer" mod to change it yourself.

Is it possible to convert this into snowfall at ease? :)

This looks nothing like Eyjafjörður, It´s to narrow,
