Tálknafjörður (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈtʰaul̥knaˌfjœrðʏr̥] ) is a fjord located in southern Westfjords between Patreksfjörður and Bildudalur in Iceland.
The term is also used for the immediate village and municipality. In January 2024, the municipality had 261 inhabitants, of whom 256 lived within the town proper.
On the land side the municipality is surrounded by the municipality of Vesturbyggð. There is considerable cooperation between the two municipalities. In October 2023 inhabitants voted for the merger of the municipalities and that will happen in May 2024. The town of Tálknafjörður was formerly named Sveinseyri [ˈsveinsˌeiːrɪ] or Tunga [ˈtʰuŋka, ˈtʰʏŋka]. By road, the distance to Ísafjörður, the largest city in the West Fjords, is 137 km, and 403 km to Reykjavík. This distance can be significantly shortened by the ferry from Brjánslækur [ˈprjaunsˌlaiːkʏr̥] to Stykkishólmur.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
