"Húsavík Harbour" and 5 more views added
About an hour’s drive from Akureyri, the largest town in North Iceland, lies the seaside town of Húsavík, where wooden houses line the shore. Among travelers, it is best known as a base for whale watching. Near the Harbour, the Whale Museum offers insight into the lives of whales and the long history of their relationship with people.
Fishing boats and whale-watching tour vessels rest in Húsavík Harbour. On this particular day, the sky is clear—perfect weather for heading out to sea. Take in the peaceful harbor scene, where snow-capped mountains and a cloudless sky are mirrored on the calm water.
