Húsavík is a small town located in northern Iceland, on the eastern shore of Skjálfandi Bay. The town is known for its beautiful natural surroundings and is a popular destination for whale watching.

Húsavík is home to several historic buildings and landmarks, including the iconic wooden church, Húsavíkurkirkja, which dates back to 1907. The town also has several museums and cultural attractions, such as the Exploration Museum, which showcases Iceland's history of exploration and adventure.

One of the main attractions of Húsavík is its whale watching tours. The town is considered to be one of the best places in Iceland for whale watching, with a high concentration of humpback whales, blue whales, and other whale species found in the waters of Skjálfandi Bay. You can take a boat tour from the harbor and experience the thrill of seeing these magnificent creatures up close.
