DIVE INTO THE WORLD OF WHALES
As you drive into Húsavík you'll quickly notice everything revolves around whales here.
Whilst whale watching boats depart all day long from Húsavík harbor to head out into Skjálfandi Bay in search for the giants of the ocean, the lively port area invites to linger, watch the world go by or to explore the whale themed wall paintings, statues and decorations.
Also right by the harbor, you'll find the Húsavík Whale Museum:
After thorough preparations and planning, the museum has been under extensive reconstruction throughout winter. The exhibition rooms have undergone large-scale changes, expansion and upgrading.
Today, the official opening of the newly renovated museum was held and celebrated.
So why not complete your stay in Húsavík with a visit to this lovely museum and discover more fascinating facts about "our" whales and their world - the ocean.
Marvel at some life-sized skeletons (even that of a 25m blue whale!), learn more about the interaction of whales and humans through history and how our future depends on these gentle giants and the sea or sit back and watch the newest documentary on display.
Getting curious? We can't wait to see you in Húsavík, our hometown!
