Íþróttarhúsið á Torfnesi (in Icelandic pronounced as /ˈiːˌθrouhtarˌhuːsɪð au ˈtʰɔrvˌnɛːsɪ/), known colloquially as Jakinn in Icelandic pronounced as /ˈjaːcɪn/ or Ísjakinn in Icelandic pronounced as /ˈiːsˌjaːcɪn/ (English: The Iceberg),[1] is a multi-purpose indoor arena in Ísafjörður, Iceland. It is the homecourt to Íþróttafélagið Vestri (basketball and volleyball) and Knattspyrnufélagið Hörður (handball) but also hosts several other events every year.
Groundbreaking took place in the spring of 1988[2] and the arena officially opened on 18 September 1993.
