Landeyjar is a location on the coast of Iceland that serves as a submarine cable landing point, hosting two international submarine cables. As a two-cable landing point, Landeyjar ranks among the most connected landing points in Iceland, which collectively hosts four submarine cables across three landing points. The cables landing at Landeyjar extend Iceland's connectivity in two distinct directions: westward toward Greenland and Canada, and southeastward toward Denmark.
The two cables landing at Landeyjar — Greenland Connect and DANICE — both reached ready-for-service status in 2009, making Landeyjar an emerging node in the North Atlantic submarine cable network at that time. Together they connect Iceland to three other countries: Canada, Greenland, and Denmark, enabling both intercontinental and inter-Nordic connectivity through a single landing point.
Greenland Connect is a submarine cable spanning 4,580 kilometres that reached ready-for-service status in 2009. In addition to Landeyjar in Iceland, it connects to landing points in Greenland and Canada, forming a significant transatlantic arc through the North Atlantic. This cable links Iceland westward into the North American and Greenlandic communications corridor.
DANICE is a submarine cable spanning 2,304 kilometres that also reached ready-for-service status in 2009. It connects Landeyjar in Iceland to Denmark, establishing a direct submarine link between Iceland and the Scandinavian mainland. DANICE provides Iceland with connectivity toward continental Europe through Denmark.
Within Iceland, Landeyjar is one of three submarine cable landing points, alongside Seydisfjordur and Thorlakshofn, each of which hosts a single cable. With two cables, Landeyjar hosts more submarine cables than either of its regional peers, making it the most connected of the three Icelandic landing points by cable count.
Landeyjar functions as a multi-cable hub within Iceland's submarine cable infrastructure, distinguishing it from the single-cable termini at Seydisfjordur and Thorlakshofn. Through Greenland Connect, it provides a westward link to Greenland and Canada, while DANICE anchors a southeastward connection to Denmark. Both cables entered service in the same year, meaning Landeyjar emerged simultaneously as Iceland's most connected landing point.
The combination of a long-haul North Atlantic cable and a European-facing cable at a single landing point gives Landeyjar a dual-corridor role within the regional submarine cable graph, connecting Iceland to both the North American landmass and northern continental Europe.
